Re: What does columnname::datatype do in a where clause
Your where clause would be translated into:
WHERE Reseler_Profile.Status_ID = Reseller_Status.Status_ID AND
(param_Reseller_Id IS NULL or CAST(Reseler_Profile.Reseller_Id AS CHAR(4)) LIKE param_Reseller_Id)
The ::CHAR(4) was replaced with CAST( xxx AS CHAR(4))
However, I recommend to avoid a CAST in a situation where you'll be increasing the field size, or where performance is an absolute must. It would be better to reduce the 'other' field's size rather than increase a size.
