Hi all.
I'm trying to cut data from one table and put it in another table. The
problem comes from the fact that the first table has a field that is a
char(x) and the destination table needs that data in an integer.
For example, I'm trying to do this:
insert into data
select cast('666' as integer) as block_number, phone as phone_number,
name
from demo_q;
The data table has a field called block_number that is an integer. I'm trying
to populate that field with the INTEGER, 666. (I use 666 for testing since I
would never assign that number/id to an actuall customer.)
When I run this query, I get:
ERROR: column "block_number" is of type integer but expression is of type
character varying
What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
