[DUG] No boolean in firebird?

[Rohit Gupta]

The best advice I can give you (one that I ignored) is to replace all 
(or most) of the tables with tqueries.  The second bit of advice is to 
not use the default transaction and ensure that you understand the 
transactions as they are different to paradox.  This applies to firebird 
and interbase.

What you can do is to use a char field holding either Y/N or T/F.
