The answer is "sort of". Basically, you can use BOOLEAN as a synonym for the
BYTE type. "true" and "false" are accepted as 1 and 0. See

http://instantdb.enhydra.org/software/documentation/types.html#Numeric-Types

for details.

This isn't a true BOOLEAN type, but the above kludge should help with some
SQL compatibility problems.

Regards

Pete

Subject: InstantDB: Boolean datatype


> Hi all,
> I was just wondering if the latest version of InstantDB (3.21) supports
> the boolean datatype.  I've looked at the documentation and according to
> it, it doesn't, but I'm sure that Peter said in a previous post that this

the

> Event CHAR(250),
> Date DATE,
> Disposable BOOLEAN );

> Thanks,
