Answer 1

Instead of BETWEEN clause use STRCMP(expr1, expr2) function for string comparison operations:

WHERE STRCMP(mgrs, '42SWC227821555') >= 0 AND STRCMP(mgrs, '42SWC227821570') <= 0

Answer 2

You can use string expressions with BETWEEN comparison.

SELECT '42SWC2278215551' BETWEEN '42SWC227821555' AND '42SWd227821555'
-> 1
