sql - Can't compare XXXX-XXXX integer format to text -
i have database have not created. in table tablea, there field fielda defined "long integer", , of values have format "0000-0000" (with other numbers different 0).
i have created table field fieldb, same kind of data of fielda tablea. need compare fieldb , fielda (where fielda = fieldb), can't.
i can't define fieldb "long integer" because can't input values "0000-0000". don't understand how guy created database managed in fielda.
if define "short text" , try "where fielda = fieldb", type mismatch error.
if define "short text" , try "where cstr(fielda) = fieldb" or "where str(fielda) = fieldb" no rows returned. not blank row, looks error.
i can't modify tablea change type of fielda string due irrelevant reasons.
any highly appreciated. thanks
create fieldb long , assign format: 0000-0000
you can enter, say, 75522 , displayed as: 0007-5522
