Converting boolean values to positive or negative sign in MySQL?
Following is the syntax −
select if(yourColumnName,1,-1) from yourTableName;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( isMarried boolean ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.60 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(true); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(false); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(false); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(true); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.36 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+ | isMarried | +-----------+ | 1 | | 0 | | 0 | | 1 | +-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to convert boolean to a positive or negative sign in MySQL. Here, we have set negative for boolean false i.e. 0 −
mysql> select if(isMarried,1,-1) from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+--------------------+ | if(isMarried,1,-1) | +--------------------+ | 1 | | -1 | | -1 | | 1 | +--------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
