Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-499:
-------------------------------------

Hi Kathey: Thanks for finding this discrepancy. I think this is what's going 
on: I checked in new canons for these tests, which reflect the behavior of 
these tests with the Derby client under jdk 1.4. However, the old behavior of 
these tests is still preserved on jdk 1.3 (as documented in the functional spec 
for this feature). I believe that the appropriate action is to check in 
vm-specific canons for these tests to handle the 1.3 run. If you think this is 
urgent, I can pull together a patch for this. Otherwise, I can defer this 
cleanup to the next patch, which will address your other concerns.

> 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.
