Hey,
Re casting char columns to int, I've worked all the proposed solutions from
previous post-gres mailing list posts, but to no avail.
None of the ALTER TABLE proposed fixes worked for me, and now I have a new INTEGER type column created, I execute the following:
UPDATE zip_code_data SET county_fips_rev = CAST(county_fips as INTEGER);
...and this is what I get:
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: " "
What is this telling me?
Thanks,
Lille
