comparing values of different column types in mssql and mysql
I was debugging this SQL statement in MSSQL and it says
“Syntax error converting the varchar value ‘LDI ‘ to a column of data type int. “
I realized that this was due to the part where in the “Where” clause that compares the value of a char column with an integer, like for example,
agent_code = 942,
when it should be
agent_code = '942'
unlike,
where in mysql,
I could just compare the column with a value regardless of its type.
It could be already a known common difference between MSSQL and MySQL when comparing column values of different types, but I guess I just have to blog about it.
