Thread: Boolean and Bit

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!
