Numeric Operators in SQL Where clauses

Please define “generic sql.” 😉

There are multiple SQL specifications with different levels of conformance and every backend implements these specifications quite differently. Are you trying to build your app to support multiple SQL engines? If so, I hope it’s for a very good business reason because doing so is a pain.

www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/features.html <www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/features.html> outlines these different specifications and then goes into how PostgreSQL adheres to them. The casting feature I referenced is listed on the supported features page with identifier F201.
