=== `TO_BOOLEAN`
|
||
|
|
Converts an input value to a boolean value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The input can be a single- or multi-valued field or an expression. The input
|
||
|
|
type must be of a string or numeric type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A string value of *"true"* will be case-insensitive converted to the Boolean
|
||
|
|
*true*. For anything else, including the empty string, the function will
|
||
|
|
return *false*. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,esql]
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/boolean.csv-spec[tag=to_boolean]
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
returns:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[%header,format=dsv,separator=|]

|
||

|
|===
|
||
|

|
||

The numerical value of *0* will be converted to *false*, anything else will be
|
||
|
|
converted to *true*.
