I will take your advice and learn more of these, but all that operators and cast take quite a bit to learn ( specially as I do not do that much sql and I tend to forget operators as I routinelly have to use about a dozen languages,that's why I try to use the more common / old way ( and 30+ years of habit take a bit to change ) ).
