Subject: [IB-Architect] IB 6.1 Whish: boolean field


I wonder how the community feels abou implementing a boolean field type into
interbase ?

At this moment I use a domain, but i would like a real boolean type better.


John

Yes, very good question,

I'm for boolean variable, but only when this will be
applicable as boolean expression into SQL commands :

Select .... TabX Where IsOrder /* When IsOrder is Boolean column in TabX */

and

Insert InTo TabX(..., IsOrder, ...) Values(..., T[rue]|F[alse], ...)

and

Select Cast(IsOrder as Integer|SmallInt...) * Qty
IsOrderBin From TabX /* Cast returned value 0 or 1 */

and

Select Cast(IsOrder as Char(1))...
