Hello all,

Some of our development software is not really "PostgreSQL aware" in
that it expects bool values to be y/n (ala MS Access) or 1/0.  However
it seems that Postgres returns t/f.

Does anyone know a way to get Postgres to return one of the above
(preferably, 1/0) for boolean values?

Ideally, it would be somewhat of a transparent feature, so that a
"SELECT * FROM table;" would have all bool values in the format above.

Any suggestions greatly apreciated,

Matthew Nuzum
