Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-6584:
-------------------------------------------
Thanks for digging further into this, Rick.
I'm also unable to find anything that suggests that these comparisons should be
accepted.
"4.5.2 Comparison and assignment of booleans" is silent about comparisons
between booleans and non-booleans.
> Comparisons between BOOLEAN and other types sometimes succeed

> Key: DERBY-6584
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6584
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 10.10.2.0
> Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
>
> I would have expected the following queries to fail because of type mismatch
> between CHAR and BOOLEAN:
> {noformat}
> ij> values 'abc' = true, true = 'xyz', false = 'yes';
> 1
> -----
> true
> true
> false
> 3 rows selected
> ij> values 'abc' in (true, false), true in ('abc', 'def');
> 1
> -----
> true
> true
> 2 rows selected
> {noformat}
> Similar queries using INTEGER values instead of CHAR values fail as expected:
> {noformat}
> ij> values 1 = true;
> ERROR 42818: Comparisons between 'INTEGER' and 'BOOLEAN' are not supported.
> Types must be comparable. String types must also have matching collation. If
> collation does not match, a possible solution is to cast operands to force
> them to the default collation (e.g. SELECT tablename FROM sys.systables WHERE
> CAST(tablename AS VARCHAR(128)) = 'T1')
> ij> values true = 1;
> ERROR 42818: Comparisons between 'BOOLEAN' and 'INTEGER' are not supported.
