[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-984?page=all ]
Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-984:
--------------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Blocker)
Downgrading this issue to Major because it is not blocking the release, as
indicated by its reassignment to 10.3. I suspect that we can't fix this in 10.3
either. It appears to be a significant change to Derby behavior which will
affect existing applications. The community is likely to decide that the fix
must be deferred to a major release.
> 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
> Assignee: Rick Hillegas
> Fix For: 10.3.0.0
>
> 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.
