query for odd/even records?

The following is for choosing odd and even records...

//odd records
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT business_type FROM business WHERE mod(business_id,2) = 1";

//even records
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT business_type FROM business WHERE mod(business_id,2) = 0";

How do I create an sql query for even record "business_type"s that are NOT "business_type"s from odd records? and vice versa?

smakz, could you please give an example? show a few rows, and then indicate which ones you want the query to pick

Try:

Code:

SELECT DISTINCT business_type FROM business WHERE mod(business_id,2) = 0 and WHERE Not mod(business_id,2) = 1
