First, you need to create a function which will strip all non-numeric characters from your NUMBER and return a float (or int), like so:
create function dbo.RemoveAlpha(@str varchar(1000))
returns float
AS
begin
while patindex('%[^0-9]%', @str) > 0
begin
set @strText = stuff(@str, patindex('%[^0-9]%', @str), 1, '')
end
return convert(float, @str)
end
Then your can rewrite your query like so:
SELECT TE.DESC
FROM PRODUCT P, ETYPE TE
WHERE ( P.IDTYPE = TE.IDTYPE )
AND dbo.RemoveAlpha(P.NUMBER) BETWEEN 619 AND 623
