Henrique,
we want to follow the SQL specification, then it's necessary to implement
the boolean logic as well (e.g. predicates like WHERE BOOLEAN_FIELD or
assignments like BOOLEAN_FIELD = FIELD IS NULL). It's not a trivial task and
Borland failed to do this in their IB 7.0, although promised to. This work
is in our to-do list, but it doesn't have a high priority.
