MySQL类型转换

mysql为我们提供了两个类型转换函数：CAST和CONVERT，现成的东西我们怎能放过？

BINARY[(N)]
CHAR[(N)]
DATE
DATETIME
DECIMAL
SIGNED [INTEGER]
TIME
UNSIGNED [INTEGER]

例子：

--使用CAST将varchar转换成int类型排序
select server_id from cardserver where game_id = 1 order by CAST(server_id as SIGNED) desc limit 10;

--使用CONVERT将varchar转换成int类型排序
select server_id from cardserver where game_id = 1 order by CONVERT(server_id,SIGNED) desc limit 10
