Strings to Integers

Is it possible with WADB Database Search to compare numbers in string columns? The prices in a table I have are sent as currency decimal which includes a comma so the plugin apparently sees them as strings.

So the column type in your table is not an integer or float value? You can only do numerical comparisons on number type columns. If the column is a string type then the numerical comparisons will not work. Do you need to store string formatting information in the column? If not you should be able to make the column an int or float type and use the comparisons.
