For queries requiring to "select" based on "length" of a string, it's very simple usage in MySQL.

SELECT * from TABLE where length(ColumnName) < 3

For example, this query will list strings less than 3 chars.

You can use on any combinations ask you wish for longer or shorter, equal up to requirement.
