如何选择混合字符串/整数列的最大值?

2021-12-19 00:00:00 max select mysql mixed

假设我有一个包含发票编号列的表,数据类型是 VARCHAR,混合字符串/整数值,例如:

Lets say that I have a table which contains a column for invoice number, the data type is VARCHAR with mixed string/int values like:

invoice_number
**************
    HKL1
    HKL2
    HKL3
    .....
    HKL12
    HKL13
    HKL14
    HKL15

我尝试选择最大值,但它返回HKL9",而不是最高值HKL15".

I tried to select max of it, but it returns with "HKL9", not the highest value "HKL15".

SELECT MAX( invoice_number )
FROM `invoice_header`

推荐答案

HKL9 (string) 大于 HKL15,因为它们是作为字符串比较的.解决您的问题的一种方法是定义一个列函数,该函数仅返回发票编号的数字部分.

HKL9 (string) is greater than HKL15, because they are compared as strings. One way to deal with your problem is to define a column function that returns only the numeric part of the invoice number.

如果您的所有发票编号都以 HKL 开头,那么您可以使用:

If all your invoice numbers start with HKL, then you can use:

SELECT MAX(CAST(SUBSTRING(invoice_number, 4, length(invoice_number)-3) AS UNSIGNED)) FROM table

它取invoice_number,不包括前3个字符,转换为int,并从中选择max.

It takes the invoice_number excluding the 3 first characters, converts to int, and selects max from it.
