Subject: ODBC handling of bools?
Hello.
I have a VB5 application which uses ODBC 6.5 (2/4/00) to access a
Postgresql 7.0.2 database.
Everything works just fine except for booleans.
I manually generate the SQL to be sent to the ODBC driver ]
eg select * from member where weekends
or select * from member where weekends=true
but this fails because somewhere in the driver, this is translated to
select * from member where weekends <> 0 and this causes an error because
there is no operator to compare bools and integers.
I have tried with the "bools as char" option on and off with no effect.
I thought that this stuff had been fixed a couple of years ago. Did it
break again or am I just missing something basic?
How does one make bool tests work ?
Cheers and thanks,
Stephen Davies
