Why not use: " SELECT * FROM <Table-name> WHERE CAST(Table.ID as TEXT) LIKE '1%' " as the MySQL query also? MySQL supports the CAST function. If you want the implicit casts take a look at: http://petereisentraut.blogspot.com/2008/03/readding-implicit-casts-in-postgresql.html This assumes you are running Postgres 8.4+ Be sure and read the warnings. > http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2011-01/msg00866.php > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/MySQL-search-query-is-not-executin > g-in-Postgres-DB-tp5492402p5492402.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general > mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
