As I understand, in Django/Python, True is 1 and False=0. And when connected to the database, we use a TinyInt for that variable and assign it to a NullBooleanField.
Problem is that some people use their PC's with a Microsoft Access based front end to the database (MySQL). The forms use check-boxes, and when checked, which is supposed be "true", Access puts -1 into the data base. Django doesn't recognize that value as True. I can't change the Access forms or system and don't tell me to stop using Access. We don't have unlimited resources to fix all the problems in the world! I'm wondering if there is some way to tell Django in the data model to let a model variable return True when <>0 (instead of when=1) , and False when 0? This seems the cleanest easiest way; but I can't see how to make this possible? Is it? Or is there another approach ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group. To post to this group, send email to django-us...@googlegroups.com.
