Isnt there a CF function that takes a 1 or 0 and converts it to display True or
False?
Or am I dreaming?

YesNoFormat does it for yes and no, but nothing built in for true and false.

Ah.. I was not dreaming. I knew there was something built in.
Thanks Barney!

You're possibly thinking of Railo's TrueFalseFormat function.
Does exactly the same as YesNoFormat, but with true and false.

Actually you can get a little bit cleaner than this even:
#iif(myvar,true,false)#
True and false don't need the DE wrappers because they're boolean values,
so they evaluate to themselves and then as long as myvar is a boolean,
you don't have
Indeed, evaluating to 1 is not strictly correct because:
false = 0
true = not false

Yes, but I think he wanted it to display TRUE or FALSE the way the
yesnoformat displays YES or NO.

True and false don't need the DE wrappers because they're boolean values,
so they evaluate to themselves and then as long as myvar is a boolean,
you don't have to explicitly compare it to 1 (although you can if you like).

I just tripped over something a little strange ...
cfset bitPublish = 255
With EQbr
cfif bitPublish EQ true
true
cfelse
false
/cfif
brbr
Without EQbr
cfif bitPublish
true
cfelse
false
/cfif
If you run this test code on CFMX 6.1, you'll see that the first case evaluates to
false and the second
boolean is the
more strict type, so both of your expressions would be true.

I just tripped over
I think what's happening is that CF is storing the constant true as 1,
and 255 != 1 (obviously).
In the second instance, false == 0, and 255 != 0, so 255 is true
(because in most languages, not false is true enough).
Try changing eq true to neq false and see what happens.

This is just a guess as only the source can tell you but:

This would seem to be saying is a (byte, short, int, float) equal to a
boolean
Why is it loosly typed on one hand, but strongly typed on the other?
You wouldn't say weakly typed or tightly typed (unless you're me, and
can't remember the right term).Anyone know the reason for the
inconsistency?Historical trivial is always fun, at least to me.

When comparing against Access, its hard to go anywhere but up from where you are now.
Access may have a nice front-end client, but... well, you can fill in the blanks on
performance, I'm sure.
mySQL may be just one step up the food chain, but its a significant step from where
you are now.

It seems that people are very quick to suggest MySQL but I think the
superior open source database is PostgreSQL, mainly because it
supports transaction locking and stored procedures.
Right, don't forget that MySQL doesn't have any kind of referential
integrity or check constrains too.
