could you please elaborate why do you need the column as numbers ?
Umm... I guess I need to test the more than thing. However in most cases where sorting is done the result is different if the sort function handles numbers as text instead of numbers. Eg unix commands 'sort' (text based) and 'sort -n' (number based) orders 99 and 100 differently. Just wondering if marking column as text and not number will cause these kind of things.
I guess it doesn't matter to mart if the column in database is integer or decimal.
