Hey,
Re casting char columns to int, I've worked all the proposed solutions
from previous
post-gres mailing list
posts<http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2010-02/msg01078.php>,
but to no avail.
None of the ALTER TABLE proposed fixes worked for me, and now I have a new
INTEGER type column created, I execute the following:
UPDATE zip_code_data SET county_fips_rev = CAST(county_fips as INTEGER);
...and this is what I get:
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: " "
What is this telling me?
Thanks,
Lille
