Rami Ojares commented on DERBY-499:
-----------------------------------

Isn't it about time this issue is picked up?
I mean boolean type is the simplest and most elementary of all datatypes.
It seems quite amazing that this type would be too hard to implement whereas Derby has such obscure and useless types like XML?

I mean it almost seems the world has gone mad! ;-)

But seriously, why did you abandon the implementation Rick?

I would be happy to help when time permits.

> 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.
