Method cast

jOOQ/src/main/java/org/jooq/Field.java:332–332

Cast this field to the type of another field. Casting converts expressions between data types directly in SQL using SQL CAST expressions or similar. If you want to convert data types only in jOOQ without any effect on generated SQL, you can use Field#coerce(Field) instead.
