postgres convert number to string
Because the number can be up to 15 digits, you'll need to cast to an 64 bit (8-byte) integer. Try this: SELECT * FROM table WHERE myint = mytext::int8 The :: cast operator is historical but convenient. Postgres also conforms to the SQL standard syntax myint = cast ( mytext as int8) If you have literal text you want to compare with an int, cast the int to text: SELECT * FROM table WHERE myint::varchar(255) = mytext
