Peter,
Good question. There was a mail thread on this probably about six
months ago. IIRC this was done so that you could call getBoolean() on
an integer column. I think that some other database supported this and
they wanted to have postgres support it in the same way. I think that
is when the jdbc1 code was patched to support the value '1'. I don't
know why the jdbc2 code wasn't changed at the same time.
thanks,
--Barry
