Select all where [first letter starts with B]

mysql

Solution

SELECT author FROM lyrics WHERE author LIKE 'B%';

Make sure you have an index on `author`, though!

Problem

This is a follow up question to my previous one. I want to write a MYSQL statement that echoes every entry that starts with letter B. Function.php ``` function getCategory() { $query = mysql_query("SELECT author FROM lyrics WHERE author [starts with letter B]") or die(mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { ?> <p><a href="##"><?= $row['author']; ?></a></p> <?php } ``` Category.php?category=b ``` <?php include 'includes/header.php' ?> <?php getCategory(); ?> <?php include 'includes/footer.php' ?> ``` Like that I guess. And then one for every letter of the alphabet, and one with misc (numbers etc)
