Question

Background: I have an SQL database that contain a column (foo) of a text type and not integer. In the column I store integer in a text form.

Question: Is it possible to SELECT the row that contains (in foo column) number greater/lesser than n?

PS: I have a very good reason to store them as text form. Please refrain from commenting on that.

Update: (Forgot to mention) I am storing it in SQLite3.

Answer 1

SELECT foo
FROM Table
WHERE CAST(foo as int)>@n
