i considered this one but this would only bring 0/1 as input, not as
output values, which is what i want.
The reason for my question is: PHP (yes *grumble*) does not recognize
boolean columns but instead makes a simple string from a PG boolean.
So every time you select a boolean column in PHP, you cannot use
expressions like:
if (!$bool)
because 't' and 'f' give TRUE in PHP.
I was begged many times by our people coding PHP to find a workaround
for this problem.
Kind regards
