I used prototype boolean

Ah, there be magic there. The ERPrototypes 'boolean' prototype defines:
Datatype: Custom
External Width: 5
Class: java.lang.Boolean
Factory Method: valueOf
Conversion Method: toString
Init Argument: String
So, when reading from the database it obtains the value by calling the
'Factory Method' on the 'Class' expecting a argument of the type
specified in the 'Init Argument':
Boolean.valueOf(String valueFromDB);
When writing to the db it gets the value by calling the 'Conversion
Method' on an instance of the 'Class':
Boolean valueToWrite;
valueToWrite.toString();
So the values in your database should be 'true' or 'false' (without
the quotes).
