The tokens were placeholders all fields are numeric.

The query SELECT * FROM AlertErrors WHERE id = 10 and code = 50 returns
two rows. The query SELECT * FROM AlertErrors WHERE id = 10 and code =
50 and subCode = 0 returns zero rows.

However if I do SELECT * from alerterrors where id = 10 and code = 50
and subcode = '0' I get two rows. How can it be that subcode is a
character? Can I recreate the table or alter the column so that it is a
numeric value?

Assuming that 'A' and 'Foo' above are placeholders and neither actual
strings nor column names, the query looks mostly fine.

What does the following return?

SELECT * FROM AlertErrors WHERE id = A and code = Foo and subCode = 0

Of course, if A and Foo are actual strings, then you have to enclose
them in single quotes.
