No, because there's no built-in cast from smallint to bool.
'k, I just took a read through the "CREATE CAST" man page, and don't think
I can use that for this,
Sure you can. Make a SQL or PLPGSQL function that does the conversion
you want and then create a cast using it.
Ah, okay, I just re-read the man page and think I stumbled upon what I
overlooked the first time ...
all I want to do is:
CREATE CAST ( 0 AS boolean )
WITH FUNCTION <I have to create this>
AS ASSIGNMENT;
And then each time I try to insert a '0' into a BOOLEAN field, it will
auto convert that (based on my function) to 'f' ...
And I'd need to do a second one for 1 -> 't' ...
Am I reading it right this time ... ?
