Is there a way to convert a boolean value to text and/or vice versa?
You can select 'true'::boolean, which *seems* to convert a text string to boolean, but select 'true'::text::boolean earns the message ERROR: cannot cast type text to boolean
You can't go the other way either SELECT true::text ERROR: cannot cast type boolean to text
and to_char() doesn't know about booleans.
It's not that difficult to write a fuction to convert boolean to text, but I'm wondering if there's already something that does this?
