Re: cfquery returns db tinyint(1) as boolean
iirc, this is not a cfquery doing, but rather the mysql jdbc driver's. there is some setting for the connector-j and/or in mysql server config file that changes this behaviour, but you will have to look it up in the mysql reference manual - i do not remember the details of this setting...

Re: cfquery returns db tinyint(1) as boolean
hi dave. yeah we just found that it is a previously submitted bug for mysql jconnector which we use in dreamweaver. to get around it we just changed those columns to smallint(1) thanks >> after lots of problematic select statements we have realised > >I don't know if this is a problem specific to MySQL or the MySQL JDBC >drivers. > >You might work around this by simply casting within your SQL. > >Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software >http://www.figleaf.com/ > >Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized >instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, >Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location. >Visit http://training.figleaf.com/ for more information! ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:306600 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

You might work around this by simply casting within your SQL.
