Hello: I have need to declare a column as type integer then default is at '0' (that is a string with a zero in it).
An example may be: Create table foo ( foo_id int not null default '0' ) My question centers on the notion of implicit type conversion. Is the server converting the type at the time the ddl (not really too big a deal) or is it doing the conversion at run time (i.e. each time a row is inserted in the DB). Thanks for your time and expertise! Best Regards, Boyd E.
