SQL SELECT - Return boolean based on condition

Question

Essentially I\'m trying to do this

select  u.Hostname, u.IsCustom, (u.Status = 5) as IsActive
from    SiteUrlMappings u

Where 5 is an int r

Answer 1

You need a case statement, like this:

select  u.Hostname,
        u.IsCustom,
        convert(bit, case when u.Status = 5 then 1 else 0 end) as IsActive

from    SiteUrlMappings u

bit is as close to true boolean as you can get in SQL Server
