MySQL: return “0” & “1” rather than “false” & “true”

Question

I need to return true or false rather than 1 & 0, using following query:

select if(u.id is null,false         


        

Answer 1

If you want, you can return the values as strings:

SELECT IF(u.id IS NULL, 'false', 'true') as status
FROM user u
LIMIT 10
