You probably don't want implicit, since that will probably trip you up
somewhere else. You want an assignment cast. The fucntion you want
exists, called 'bool'.
# select castfunc::regproc from pg_cast where castsource = 'int4'::regtype and casttarget = 'boolean'::regtype;
castfunc
----------
bool
(1 row)
You might want to create the cast temporarily and after the import
remove it again.
Have a nice day,
