BOOLEAN data type
Informix®
Informix supports the BOOLEAN data type, which can store 't' or 'f'
values.
BOOLEAN data type in a different way: A
BOOLEAN variable stores integer values 1 or 0
(for TRUE or FALSE). This type is designed to hold the result of a
boolean expression.Netezza®
Netezza supports the BOOLEAN data type
and stores 't' or 'f' values for TRUE and
FALSE representation.
Note:
It is not possible to insert the integer values 1 or 0 into
Netezza BOOLEAN columns: Values must be true,
false, 't', 'f', '1' or
'0'.
Solution
The Netezza database interface converts the
BOOLEAN integer values to a CHAR(1) values '1' or
'0'.
The
BOOLEAN type translation can be controlled with the
following FGLPROFILE
entry:dbi.database.dsname.ifxemul.datatype.boolean = { true | false }
