Hello Gurus,

I have several tables with lots of boolean columns.
When I run select query for the tables, I always get 't' or 'f' for boolean types.

Is there a way to return 'true' or 'false' string for boolean type except using CASE WHEN ... clause?
I mean global postgres configuration setting to return 'true'/'false' instead of t/f.

Question for others..

hstore(record) doesn't seem to cast the rows to text using the normal text cast, right? Why is that? 

If I have a table with a boolean column and I call hstore(table), I see 't', not 'true'. 

But true::text is 'true' and false::text is 'false'.
