postGre SQL requesting type cast when datatypes match?












0















So I've been trying this query here:



    SELECT
account.customer_client_code,
account.client_account_number,
account.first_name,
account.last_name,
debt_trans.trans_date,
debt_trans.debt_id,
debt_trans.debt_trans_id,
debt_trans.receiver,
debt_trans.type_name,
debt_trans.client_id,
debt_trans.amount

FROM
debt_trans

INNER JOIN
account

ON
account.client_id= debt_trans.client_id

/* Both fields here are of int8 datatype */

WHERE
debt_trans.customer_id = 'CMC'
and
account.customer_client_code like ('UBC2903','UBCO')
and
debt_trans.type_name='Credit Card'
and
debt_trans.operator = 'RECEIVED'

/*All of these fields here are of varchar datatype */


But I've checked and double checked all the datatypes and there shouldn't be any type casting. The error message I get is the following:



"ERROR: operator does not exist: character varying ~~ record Hint: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts. Position: 492"



Any hints on what's the problem?

The error message is pertaining to this line:



account.customer_client_code like ('UBC2903','UBCO')


If you are trying to see if account.customer_client_code is one of 'UBC2903' or 'UBCO', then you should use the IN operator:



account.customer_client_code IN ('UBC2903','UBCO')
