What's the result of
select monographid,length(monographid) from tblpemdruglink where
monographid ~ '^2008';
It occurs to me that your delimited text file may have padded values,
and "=" insists on exact matches for VARCHAR.
update tblpemdruglink set monographid=btrim(monographid);
might help, if the first query returns anything but 4.
