You can use the LENGTH function in the where clause in your query, but then need to consider if the culumn is delared as NULL, VARCHAR or FIXED etc. If you post those decalration,someone here would have a pointer towards a more aprropriate solution.

| If the field is a CHAR it has a fixed length of 36, which is why you were getting all rows. If it is VARCHAR it can vary in length. If it allows NULL you may have issues when executing the LENGTH(column) when the row has a value of NULL. |
