Thanks Rick for fixing the tests. I will take a look. However, I don't think these are fixes for a regression, they are test updates. A fix for a regression would have to be in the code and could never be fixed by fixing the test. A regression, as I see it, is a code change which might cause an application using valid Derby interfaces and configurations to no longer function properly on upgrade. One could argue that the behaviour change to change the output of getString from a a numeric output to true/false is a regression because it may indeed affect applications that depend on that output. I thought about it and decided it is not because we document these columns as BOOLEAN but don't support the type. It is a tricky call. http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/ref/rrefsistabs79888.html. I Certainly, this behaviour change might be good to mention in the Release Notes under the section: *Changes That Might Affect Existing Applications*. Kathey
