Is it possible to search just numeric characters in a string using wildcards?

Example:

I want to find Clients with Code of 60111, 61234, etc. The field is varchar but the sequence I want is always 5 numerics starting with '6' (6####). However, there are also codes such as 6123A or 6055G, which I do not want included in my results.

When searching on
"ClientCode like '6%'"
or
"ClientCode like '6____'"

I get the codes included I do not want.

I know in Access I can search for just numeric values (ClientCode like '6####'). I've tried that in MySQL with no success so far. Is this possible?

To be honest with you, I have never tried this. But right off the top of my head, what I would do is say left(field,5) > 60000, since if you get back, 6111A, it would be less than 60000.

you could also use regular expressions,

... WHERE ClientCode REGEXP "^6[0-9]{4}"
