RE: boolean isn't boolean?

normaly i wouldn't be this picky but......

language-lawyer version.. you used the wrong version of the lang, the docs
say it complies to SQL3, which has completely different wording than SQL99

The language-lawyer version:

ISO/IEC 9075-5:1999 ("SQL99") 17.2 GR6

"If [the result of the query expression] is not empty, then [it] is
returned. The method of returning [it] is implementation-defined."

Then that's how this implementation defines it. :-)
