In MySQL the below query is executing properly. SELECT * FROM <Table-name> WHERE (Table.ID LIKE '1%') But when i try to execute the above query in Postgres, i get the following Exception "org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: operator does not exist: integer ~~ unknown Hint: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts". If i convert the same query " SELECT * FROM <Table-name> WHERE CAST(Table.ID as TEXT) LIKE '1%' ". This gets executed directly in Postgres DB. But i need some query which implicitly type cast in DB, which allows me to execute the MySQL query without any Exception. Because i remember there is a way for integer to boolean implicit type cast.
