Maybe we should support postgres conversion (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-boolean.html), similar to what is already on PgPreparedStatement and setObject.
Can you please open an issue on github to keep track of it?

It’s not my use case. It seems to me the driver should either support JDBC/Java conversions (true/yes => true, everything else false) or Postgres conversions (true/on/t/1 => true, false/off/f/0 => false, everything else error).Currently it seems theres a hodgepodge of supported conversion not really defined by the spec or server support; unless they are defined somewhere that I’m not aware off.On Jan 15, 2017, at 4:42 PM, Dave Cramer <pg@fastcrypt.com> wrote:On 15 January 2017 at 18:33, Kevin Wooten <kdubb@me.com> wrote:Actually this table isn’t what I’m looking for.

I cannot seem to find it in the PDF for 4.2.
I am curious about some of the conversions that are done. For example, calling “ResultSet.getBoolean” on a text/varchar column with the value “1.0”. This conversion succeeds because the driver (both pgjdbc & ng) fallback to decoding the column as a double then converting that by testing it “== 1”; which seems valid but questionable since “!= 0” would also be valid, but vastly different.
This is not allowed by Postgres (e.g. “SELECT “1.0”::bool;” results in an error) and I cannot find anything in JDBC as of yet.
