Hi, 

I have table users;

id  name  bin
--------------
 1   xx   9    

dec(1) & dec(9) = dec(1)  
bin(0001) & bin(1001) = bin(0001) 

This query is bad. 

SELECT name FROM users WHERE id_user=1 AND (bin & 1) 

This query return 
"Warning: PostgreSQL query failed: ERROR: right- hand side of AND is
type 'integer', not 'boolean' in"


Wow I write corect this query ? 

Thanks.

I think, you want:

... AND (bin & 1) = 1

just bin&1 returns an *integer*, and you need a *boolean* expression for 
your criteria.

I hope, it helps...
