How to compare two strings which are numbers in MySQL?
To compare two strings which are numbers in MySQL, use the CAST() function.
The syntax is as follows
select *from yourTableName where cast(yourColumnName as signed)=yourIntegerValue;
To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows
mysql> create table compareTwoStringDemo -> ( -> UserId varchar(100) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.78 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into compareTwoStringDemo values('1083745');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into compareTwoStringDemo values('9867585');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into compareTwoStringDemo values('3547483');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into compareTwoStringDemo values('9845646');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into compareTwoStringDemo values('9876532');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from compareTwoStringDemo;
The following is the output
+---------+ | UserId | +---------+ | 1083745 | | 9867585 | | 3547483 | | 9845646 | | 9876532 | +---------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to compare two strings which are numbers
mysql> select *from compareTwoStringDemo -> where cast(UserId as signed)=3547483;
The following is the output
+---------+ | UserId | +---------+ | 3547483 | +---------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
