Bobby, This doesn't work for me because the values in the database are in a numeric column and stored as 1 or 0. I need the query to return 'yes' or 'no'. The query results are used for a CFINDEX, so the only option I can think of at this point is to build a NEW query and transform those values as I loop through the original query recordset. This will add alot of overhead to the process though.
I can't do a PL/SQL function either, so that's not an option. Anyone else have any other ideas?

I haven't messed with Oracle much but if you don't find a better solution, you can hack something up that returns the length of the value minus 2 which will return 1 for yes and 0 for no This should do it... select len(YesNoField)-2 as YesOrNo from MyTable if the values in that field are only yes or no, you will get 1 for yes and 0 for no it's a hack job I know but it works The ideal solution would be to change the field values but I know that isn't always feasible with a client-supplied database. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 3:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: SOT: Oracle SQL alternative for YesNoFormat() ? Hi, I know this is a bit off topic, but I developing an app in CF accessing an Oracle DB and I need my query to return the results in the format of 'yes' or 'no' for 1 or 0 respectively. Anyone know how I can do this within the SQL select statement?
