Ok... So I tried with the following query and this time, I get the following exception
Query: select table2.product_code, table1.status from dfs.vtucare.tbl_transactions as table1 join dfs.vtucare.tbl_products as table2 on TO_NUMBER(table1.product_code, '######') = TO_NUMBER(table2.product_code, '#######') limit 1 Exception: Caused by: com.mapr.drill.support.exceptions.GeneralException: [MapR][DrillJDBCDriver](500165) Query execution error. Details: SYSTEM ERROR: UnsupportedOperationException: Cannot parse input: XXX with pattern : # However the following query returns results albeit in Exponent Notation SELECT TO_NUMBER(table1.product_code, '#########') from dfs.vtucare.vw_tbl_transactions as table1 LIMIT 1 Best regards, Peter Edike Senior Software Engineer Interswitch Tel. | Mobile. | IP Phone.

The TO_CHAR function is used to convert numeric data into characters (VARCHAR). However, you are calling the TO_CHAR on data which is already a VARCHAR. Since there isn’t a function called TO_CHAR that accepts VARCHAR as input, you get the unhelpful error messages you received. I think the function you probably want to use in the JOIN statements is TO_NUMBER rather than TO_CHAR. (https://drill.apache.org/docs/data-type-conversion/#to_number <https://drill.apache.org/docs/data-type-conversion/#to_number>) I suspect the join will work if you substitute the TO_CHAR with TO_NUMBER. — C > On May 28, 2018, at 12:00, Peter Edike <peter.ed...@interswitchgroup.com> > wrote: > > I GET VARCHAR > > Best regards, > Peter Edike > > Senior Software Engineer > Interswitch > > Tel. | Mobile. | IP Phone. > Fax. | mailto:peter.ed...@interswitchgroup.com | http:// > > http://www.interswitchgroup.com > > InterswitchThis e-mail and all attachments transmitted with it remain the > property of InterSwitch Limited , the information contained herein are > private confidential and intended solely for the use of the addressee.
