Обсуждение: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""
Hello!
I've been sweating over this for a few hours now, and hope someone can help ...
This is the error I get for this sql with the comment removed, I believe because some of the rows contain empty strings ...
How can I get the outer join whether or not the l.assetid is an empty string?
Thanks in advance!

Even if the test for that weren't commented out :-(, you can't really assume that it will be applied before the cast is done. You could possibly make this work without errors by doing left join on CASE WHEN l.assetid != '' THEN l.assetid::BIGINT = e.entityid ELSE false END but don't be surprised if the performance is horrid. On the whole I'd strongly suggest rethinking your data representation; the reason this is giving you trouble is you made a bad choice of how to represent l.assetid. Perhaps it'd work better if it were a bigint column in the first place. It's not clear exactly what you intend the empty-string entries to mean, but if they mean "unknown" then it'd be better to use NULL for them. regards, tom lane
