Could someone enlighten me as to why this CAST function won't work in MySQL? Thank you in advance.

SELECT OrderNumber, OrderDate, ShipDate, CAST(ShipDate - OrderDate AS INTEGER) AS DaysElapsed
FROM Orders

Are you trying to find out day difference? Mysql doesnot support CASTing to integer. Use Signed

SELECT OrderNumber, OrderDate, ShipDate, CAST(ShipDate - OrderDate AS SIGNED) AS DaysElapsed
FROM Orders
