if A is anything other than 0 (zero) then A is true, I know db bools are silly but it's all we have.

A=0 false
A>0 true

There are still problems with some of the types. Search the bug forum and make a post if there isn't allready one.

There problerly isn't much point in using booleans if they are just the same as bytes.

Looks like to fix the problems with booleans they just use bytes insted.

I think it's a bit of a joke there are still problems with types personally, it's something that should have been done properly from the start.
