SELECT 1='1'
dává TRUE
od '1'
je správný konstruktor pro INT
ve všech známých implementacích.
Ale SQL používá striktní typování, viz:
# SELECT 1=CAST('1' AS TEXT);
ERROR: operator does not exist: integer = text
LINE 1: SELECT 1=CAST('1' AS TEXT);
^
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts.
Pokud jde o standard (SQL 92, 99 a 2003), zdá se, že je nesprávný:
<literal> ::=
<signed numeric literal>
| <general literal>
<general literal> ::=
<character string literal>
| <national character string literal>
| <bit string literal>
| <hex string literal>
| <datetime literal>
| <interval literal>
<signed numeric literal> ::=
[ <sign> ] <unsigned numeric literal>
<unsigned numeric literal> ::=
<exact numeric literal>
| <approximate numeric literal>
<exact numeric literal> ::=
<unsigned integer> [ <period> [ <unsigned integer> ] ]
| <period> <unsigned integer>
<unsigned integer> ::= <digit>...
<character string literal> ::=
[ <introducer><character set specification> ]
<quote> [ <character representation>... ] <quote>
[ { <separator>... <quote> [ <character representation>... ] <quote> }... ]
protože <quote>
je obsažen pouze v <bit string literal>
, <hex string literal>
, ... ale ne v číselných literálech...
