Values of the <type>boolean</type> type cannot be cast directly |
|
|
|
|
to other types (e.g., <literal>CAST |
|
|
|
|
(<replaceable>boolval</replaceable> AS integer)</literal> does |
|
|
|
|
not work). This can be accomplished using the |
|
|
|
|
<literal>CASE</literal> expression: <literal>CASE WHEN |
|

|
<replaceable>boolval</replaceable> THEN 'value if true' ELSE |
