I was looking at implementing boolean in Jaybird trunk (+ backport to 2.2.x), but I'd like some confirmation on how it is encoded in the XSQLVAR and in the wireprotocol.
A quick skim of the sources seem to indicate that the XSQLVAR sqldata is a single byte. And that 0x00 is considered false and anything else is considered true. Is that right? If indeed anything else is considered true, is there a value that should be preferred (eg true = 1), or is it really 'anything goes'? In the wire protocol it is encoded as a (4-byte) long? I am a bit confused about this though as in xdr.cpp there is a xdr_bool which doesn't seem to be used anywhere, and instead xdr_datum for dtype_boolean uses xdr_opaque. I hope someone can confirm and/or clarify this. Thanks.
