I am adding some functionality to a php/postgres based system and have a
value that I want to be a boolean. digging around the pg doc I see the
boolean datatype. Cool I say. So I happily alter the table and add the
boolean column notify all is good until I retrieve it using
pg_fetch_object and get a t or f back in myobject->notify
Rats says I. a simple if ($myobject->notify) { blah } contruct won't
work.
So.. after reading a lot of stuff from both the php and pg doc and STFW
until my eyes are tired, I am coming to you guys for advice.
Assumption: There is no easy way to map a pg boolean data type to a
value that will evaluate simply in php. I know I can code it but I
would really like to keep this as simple as possible
Question: Assuming the above assumption is correct, what is the most
efficient way to define a column that will take only two values who's
values will evaluate as intended in php?
I am going to punt an go with a smallint unlet there is a way to store a
bit. I am trying to get my head around bytea right now but thought I
would ask while I am reading.
