Just discovered (the hard way) that casting a boolean column ::varchar

default cast for this? Are there any other standard types that can't be cast

I just use something like this:

create or replace function bool2str(TheValue boolean)
returns varchar as
$$
begin
  if TheValue then
    return 'true';
  else
    return 'false';
  end if;
end;
$$
language plpgsql stable;
