mysql VARCHAR acting like INT

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi, All.

I have a table that contains a varchar(10) column named weird_field. In this column, only integers reside (e.g., 3010101009). When I do this:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract select * from table where weird_field = '3010101009'

no records are returned, even though there is a record with weird_field = '3010101009'.

However, if I do this:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract select * from table where weird_field = 3010101009

the appropriate records are returned. I don't think this should be the case, right? Because it's a varchar column, shouldn't the 3010101009 be quoted? It's messing up some joins I'm trying to do, and I just don't get it.

Thanks
