Will changing the data type of a column in a MySQL database pass without problems?

Question

MySQL

There is a column in the MySQL database with the TEXT type, where a maximum of 10 digit numbers is written all the time and nothing more. There was a question of change of data type of a column on INT. Nothing will fly? Will all strings with numbers turn into numbers?

Answer 1

Might as well fly.
For example, somewhere in a couple of lines a non-number is inserted
Or somewhere this field is used in string expressions

Answer 2

I checked it according to your scenario on a local basis, it normally converted to a number
