Make sure you have the right data type for column property4. It should be INT, BIGINT or DOUBLE.

yeah okie... i changed it to INT now its working,earlier it was varchar , y will it give problem when its varchar ?

[nbiswas]

What is the data type of the Property4? Is it integer/numeric?

If that is supposed to be the case then don't put that in quotes

So instead of

select property1,prope rty2,property3, property4 from mobiles where (property4 >= '2000' and property4 < '5000') ;

try

select property1,property2,property3,property4 from mobiles where (property4 >= 2000 and property4 < 5000) ;

Also take the help of between... and operator

select property1,property2,property3,property4 from mobiles where (property4 between  2000 and 5000) ;

hope this helps
