Cast from VARCHAR to INT – MySQL

As described in Cast Functions and Operators:

The type for the result can be one of the following values:

  • BINARY[(N)]
  • CHAR[(N)]
  • DATE
  • DATETIME
  • DECIMAL[(M[,D])]
  • SIGNED [INTEGER]
  • TIME
  • UNSIGNED [INTEGER]

Therefore, you should use:

SELECT CAST(PROD_CODE AS UNSIGNED) FROM PRODUCT
