Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-499:
---------------------------------------------

Committed revision 358163 for patch bug499_rev4.diff.

I think the BOOLEAN type should be added to some of the table driven tests like 
parameterMapping.java and casting.java before this jira entry is closed. In 
looking that the data type conversion routines the other day it seems
that there are some strange conversions to/from BOOLEAN allowed. E.g. BOOLEAN 
to VARCHAR FOR BIT DATA.

I did *not* commit the documentaton changes.


> Expose BOOLEAN datatype to end users

> Veaceslav Chicu started an email thread on 8 August 2005 titled "boolean 
> type". He was disappointed that Derby doesn't support the ansi BOOLEAN 
> datatype. On closer inspection, Derby does internally support this type but 
> does not expose this support to end users.
> Derby should let users declare table columns of type BOOLEAN. This should be 
> an indexable datatype.
