InterBase 7.1 added the BOOLEAN datatype. I don't know about Firebird.
They typical workaround for InterBase and Firebird in the past has been
to create a domain.
i.e., CREATE DOMAIN MY_BOOLEAN INTEGER DEFAULT 0 CHECK IN (0,1)
You probably to avoid head-aches if an BOOLEAN does exist or is added,
don't want to name your domain BOOLEAN.

In databases like Paradox or MSAccess, there are fields wich data
type is the boolean type. I didn´t find it in Firebird/Interbase. Where
are they? Do they exist? If not, what are the alternatives?
