Converting VARCHAR to Numeric in SQL using Enums and CriteriaAPI
Converting VARCHAR to Numeric in SQL Overview In this article, we will explore how to convert a VARCHAR field to numeric representation using SQL queries. We will also delve into CriteriaAPI and provide an example of how to implement it. Understanding Enums Before we begin, let’s understand enums and their usage in Java. An enum is a fixed set of constants that can be used to represent a value. In our case, we have a Rating enum with values ranging from 1 (Horrible) to 5 (Excellent).
