[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-499?page=comments#action_12366417 ]
Kathey Marsden commented on DERBY-499: -------------------------------------- Apparently there was a problem with my original mail going to the list so I will make a link here. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-499#action_12366383 In Ricks response he said >Let me punch up the importance of this point: Our own production code already >>relies on pre-existing illegal casts and comparisons. Quite likely, some of >our customers do too. Yes, this is one problem I am happy to defer to another day. It would only be exacerbated now by allowing user-declarable BOOLEAN columns/args. >In summary: >o I think that we should back out user-declarable BOOLEAN columns/args one way >or another. great in svn merge you can just reverse the order of change number to back out the patch, but there may be conflicts due to intervening changes. svn merge -r 1234:1233 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk >o If (1) and (2) are showstoppers, they are showstoppers regardless of what we >do about user-declarable BOOLEAN columns/args. I don't think so. If we just leave it just like 10.1 is for now and think on this whole problem a bit more for how to create a BOOLEAN type for 10.3. > Expose BOOLEAN datatype to end users > ------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-499 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-499 > Project: Derby > Type: New Feature > Components: SQL > Versions: 10.1.1.0 > Reporter: Rick Hillegas > Assignee: Rick Hillegas > Attachments: BooleanFS.html, bug499.diff, bug499_doc.zip, > bug499_jdk13tests.diff, bug499_jdk13tests_rev2.diff, bug499_rev2.diff, > bug499_rev3.diff, bug499_rev4.diff, jdk131BooleanFailures.zip > > Veaceslav Chicu started an email thread on 8 August 2005 titled "boolean > type". He was disappointed that Derby doesn't support the ansi BOOLEAN > datatype. On closer inspection, Derby does internally support this type but > does not expose this support to end users. > Derby should let users declare table columns of type BOOLEAN. This should be > an indexable datatype. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
