MySql: Compare 2 strings which are numbers?

Question

I have a column in my table, it holds values such as 100012345. The column is varchar. Now I want to compare this to similiar values in a where:

... where myColumn > '100012345'

for example. How could I do that?

Thanks!

Answer 1

select * from your_table
where cast(your_column as signed) = 100012345
