change the type of datatype

12
Hi,

I like to replace the column having alphanumeric values to numeric values.. I want to change it using single query.

Can it be changed by using cast() convert() functions. Any suggestions

Do you want to change the values in the column or the column data type?

Execute these queries to know what will happen to your data when you convert your it from alphanumeric to numeric data

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. SELECT CAST('2000 ABC' AS SIGNED);
  2. SELECT CAST('ABC 2000' AS SIGNED);
  3. SELECT CAST('ABC' AS SIGNED);
