Yes sir I do have such a one liner now that you have domain entry types
activated in the connection.

There is a ColumnAttribute called BOOLEAN and it has parameters which allow
you to tell which values are used for True and False.

MYBOOLDOMAIN=BOOLEAN=T,F;

If I'm not mistaken, for Char( 1 ) it will default to T and F so you could
just do this:

MYBOOLDOMAIN=BOOLEAN;
