Remarks

The CAST function converts an expression from one data type to another. The target data type is typically specified separately in the query construction. CAST is useful for ensuring type compatibility, converting strings to numbers or dates, or preparing data for operations that require specific types. If the conversion fails (e.g., casting 'abc' to an integer), most databases will raise an error.
