Hi I have 2 text columns VARCHAR 50 and I put a date in them in format
yyyymmddhhmmss All working well, but I need to compare this field with the curent date and it doesn't work, as both fields are string. Is there a way to force string to be read as interger (same as CINT in VBScript, but I need to to this in mySQL).
