Formatting true/false in sql












0















I am passing a dict that I get from mysql directly into json. Unfortunately, the json fails when trying to parse the boolean with the following error:




'Current token (VALUE_NUMBER_INT) not of boolean type




Is the following the preferred way to cast a TINYINT(1) to a javascript boolean?



if(tm.is_live, 'true', 'false') live_for_preorder,





mysql sql json

  • What will be the possible values in tm.is_live field ?

  • @MadhurBhaiya the tm.is_live field is a TINYINT(1) and the values will be either 0 or 1. I think json (ES) is excepting 'true'/'false'.

    @DavidL your existing query should work. You can also convert If() to ANSI SQL compliant CASE..WHEN (if you change DB later, as IF() is MySQL specific only). In case of CASE..WHEN, it would look as follows: CASE tm.is_live WHEN 0 THEN 'false' ELSE 'true' END AS live_for_preorder

If you want to convert to a MySQL boolean, simply do:



select (tm.is_live <> 0) as live_for_preorder,


If this is accepted by Javascript, then this would be the simplest solution.

    I seem to recall MySQL is one of those rare databases that lets you use IF in normal SELECT statements where most dbms would insist on case, IF being reserved for control flow



    As such it appears that MySQL is telling you you’re not providing IF with a Boolean when it wants one. Convert your statement to a comparison that returns a Boolean:



    if(tm.is_live=1, 'true', 'false') live_for_preorder,


    (If you’re using 1 for true and 0 for false)



    To make your db skill set more portable it would be good to get into the habit of using CASE rather than IF in select queries:



    CASE tm.is_live WHEN 1 THEN 'true' ELSE 'false' END live_for_preorder,
    

    
CASE WHEN tm.is_live = 1 THEN 'true' ELSE 'false' END live_for_preorder,


    A case can have any number of WHEN, but you can’t mix the forms, it’s either CASE variable WHEN comparevalue THEN outputvalue [when when when else] END Or it’s CASE WHEN test THEN output [when when when else] END

      That's implemented as a function though, right? And you can't use IIF for control flow? All major dbms I know of insist on CASE for assignment and IF for flow, except MySQL allows either for both (dirty!)
