How to convert a MySQL varchar to a number.

If you want to convert a varchar field to a number, you can use MySQL’s built-in functions CAST() or CONVERT().

Utilizing the CAST() function:

SELECT CAST(your_varchar_column AS UNSIGNED) AS your_number_column FROM your_table;

This will convert the values of your_varchar_column into unsigned integers.

Use the CONVERT() function.

SELECT CONVERT(your_varchar_column, UNSIGNED) AS your_number_column FROM your_table;

This will convert the values in your_varchar_column to unsigned integers.

Please ensure that the values in your varchar field can be correctly converted to numbers before using these functions, as this could result in errors.
