I am comparing some CHAR data in a where clause in my sql like this,
where PRI_CODE < PriCode
The problem I am having is when the CHAR values are of different lengths. So if PRI_CODE = '0800' and PriCode = '20' it is returning true instead of false.
It looks like it is comparing it like this
'08' < '20'
instead of like
'0800' < '20'
Does a CHAR comparison start from the Left until one or the other values end?
If so how do I fix this?
My values can have letters in it so convering to numeric is not an option.
