I give up.. what don't I understand about casting and
ints and text..
i have a table jobinfo with:
acode text,
jobnumber text default
nextval('public.jobinfo_seq'::text),
jobtitle text
I have about 3000 rows starting with jobnumber = 1000.
SELECT jobnumber, jobtitle FROM jobinfo WHERE
jobnumber >= 999 ORDER BY jobnumber ASC;
The above SQL produces no rows. however...
SELECT jobnumber, jobtitle FROM jobinfo WHERE
jobnumber >= 200 ORDER BY jobnumber ASC;
produces rows with jobnumber >= 2000
if I change the query with jobnumber >= 201, I get
rows >= 2010.
it is as if there was a silent zero being appended to
the end of my int in the query. What am I missing,
please.
select version();
