Hi Simon-

You have the JDBC list here.
The SQL list might be a better place for future questions of this sort.

Here's one way to do it:

prod1=# create table testone (a boolean, b text);
CREATE TABLE
prod1=# insert into testone values ('t','true');
INSERT 485595194 1
prod1=# insert into testone values ('f','false');
INSERT 485595195 1
prod1=# select b || case when (a) then ' is true' else ' is false' end
prod1-# from testone;
?column?
----------------
true is true
false is false
(2 rows)

Regards,
-Nick

dear sir,
i am using postgresql 7.2.
i want to concatenate 'character varying' and 'boolean' ex.
select character_varying_field||boolean_field as new_field from table_name;
or any function to convert 'boolean' to 'character varying' so that i can
use
select character_varying_field||convert_function(boolean_field) as new_field
from table_name;
thanks in advance
simon moses.
