It's fairly unlikely you will find a driver with fully-fledged support for the Boolean type at this point, considering that it is a feature of Firebird 3.0, which is still in the first Alpha stage of development. Driver developers tend to wait until the Betas to support new features, as they are not regarded as stable during alpha.

The latest release of the ODBC driver this week has limited support for Boolean. What "limited" amounts to you will need to test for yourself.

As a comment, I think ODBC and other driver development projects tend to suffer from the same generic problem as Firebird itself: a lack of people prepared to test new stuff and report back to the developers.
