```sql
select
  'contains_non_integer' as result
from
  mytable
where
  cast(cast(mycolumn AS INTEGER) AS TEXT) != mycolumn
limit
  1
```
This will return a single row with a 1 as soon as it comes across a column that contains a non-integer - so it short circuits quickly on TEXT columns with non-integers in them.

If everything in the column is an integer it will scan the whole thing before returning no rows.

More extensive demo:
```sql
select
  value,
  cast(cast(value AS INTEGER) AS TEXT) = value as is_valid_int
from
  (
    select
      '1' as value
    union
    select
      '1.1' as value
    union
    select
      'dog' as value
    union
    select
      null as value
  )
```
