These are not part of the SQL language, but rather output formatting
specifiers for the sprintf() function of your programming language.

Subject: [sql_language] %d and %s variables


I notice that in a lot of query examples using variables
Like this:
> $query_limit_yellow = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_yellow,
> $startRow_yellow, $maxRows_yellow);

 these seemingly undefined items "%s %d, %d"  are used.


Could someone please explain why or how these things work?

Jeff
