1. Boolean and Bit

   Keith Gray <keith@heart.com.au> — 2001-01-17T01:29:28Z

   Hello All,
   
   This is my first post (so be gentle with me)...
   
   Is there a searchable archive?
   
   I would like suggestions and examples of adding SQL-92
   data type BIT compatibility to a PostgreSQL schema.
   
   From the doc's I gather you can "CREATE TYPE bit"
   with storage int or int4... but I don't know
   about the input/output for zero and one.
   
   Should SQL (ODBC) be able to ask "WHERE bitfield;"
   or should it ask "WHERE bitfield = 1;" ?
   
   Any response gratefully recognized...

   You will probably do best by looking at the 7.1beta and the bit types
   implemented there. They probably form a good starting point if they do
   not do everything you need already.
   
   Good luck!
