Thread: boolean defaults

Hi,

Is it possible to get a default value on a boolean column to be anything
other than 't', 'f', true or false?

eg.  If I go 'default 3 > 1', that's resolved to default true.

I just need to know for phpPgAdmin...

Chris

Doh - forget I even asked that!  Setting default to something involving
current_time easily gives a variable default...

NULL of course :)  1 or 0 also works.

And regardless of how hard MS Access tries, -1 is not true.
