Convert Numeric Data To Yes/No

I have an oracle table which has numeric data (1 or 0) in a field denoting true or false (yes or no). In my SQL query that I use to get the data, I need to also convert the 1 to "yes" and 0 to "no". Can I use to_char to do this and how or if not what other solutions are there. Thank you in advance for any help.

Code:

If(rs("fieldName") = 1) Then
   value = "yes"
Else
   value = "no"
End If

Alternatively, I use this in a mysql sql query, generating a resultset (java), where floating_control is parameter:

if(floating_control=0,'OFF','ON')

I can then use the data object as a string with YES or NO, with no need to convert it in code....

Good luck
