Re: converting varchar to integer

Using CASE to avoid '':

CREATE TABLE test (number TEXT);
INSERT INTO test VALUES('123');
INSERT INTO test VALUES('a123b');
INSERT INTO test VALUES('');
teste=> SELECT CASE number WHEN '' THEN NULL ELSE to_number(number,'999999999999990') END AS
number FROM test;;number
--------   123   123
