BOOLEAN Type allows illegal casts and comparisons according to SQL Spec
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-984
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-984
Project: Derby
Type: Bug
Components: SQL
Versions: 10.2.0.0
Reporter: Kathey Marsden
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 10.2.0.0
The BOOLEAN type, implemented with DERBY-499, will allow illegal casts and
comparisons. Issues surrounding this have also been discussed in DERBY-887.
The casts and comparisons for BOOLEAN need to be brought into line with the
standard or the BOOLEAN work backed out, before 10.2. The developer working on
this issue has indicated that he does not plan to complete the BOOLEAN work for
10.2
There is other outstanding work associated with BOOLEAN and I don't know
whether that is a showstopper or not, but at least the casts and comparisons
are. See discussion in DERBY-499.
