Randall, I am with you on that one.
I consider it ridiculous that a toddler RDBMS like dBASE had a LOGICAL
datatype but all the RDBMS systems for adults (like Oracle and, yes,
Firebird/InterBase) don't have a native BOOLEAN type.
On the other side, IDEs for adults (like Delphi) don't have datatypes
like NUMBER or DECIMAL to exactly match what comes from the database
...
Best Regards
Stefan
