How do I search for a range of integers in PostgreSQL?

Question

I have an integer column and I need to search for rows in which the said column starts with 19

In MySQL I would use SELECT ... WHERE id LIKE \'19%\'

Answer 1

In Postgres LIKE is string compare only - that explains the error.

You can explicitly cast the column to string though:

select * from "table" where id::text like '19%'
