I often store booleans (MySQL type BOOL, alias for TINYINT(1)). So it
would be very nice to have an automatic conversion from ColData to bool
so I in my programs can write someting like:

Row row = result.fetch_row ();
bool my_bool = row[0];

Best regards,
Byrial

Unless I'm greatly mistaken, this would be a pretty trivial thing to
patch; 3 lines in coldata.h, probably. Congratulations, you're
volunteered.

You are of course right that it can be done in 3 lines. It would herpaps
be more elegant to make a new variant of mysql_convert() instead of
relying on C++'s implicit conversion from int to bool, but here it is.
