Here's a query that works sqlStatement = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"SELECT * FROM stations WHERE state like '%@ %'",theState]; <--- this yields a result: 0
sqlStatement = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"SELECT state, power || ' kW' power FROM (SELECT state, Cast(Rtrim(power, 'kW') AS 'numeric') power FROM stations ORDER BY power)",theState]; I get a result: 1 from that last one... "theState" in this code is a variable for that specific state I need. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/trim-alpha-numeric-string-so-it%27s-numeric-cast-then-order-tp33711898p33712000.html Sent from the SQLite mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
