A Java boolean object can map to the HCL OneDB smallint data type or the HCL OneDB boolean data type. HCL OneDB JDBC Driver attempts to map it according to the column type. However, in cases such as PreparedStatement host variables, HCL OneDB JDBC Driver cannot access the column types, so the mapping is somewhat limited. For more details on data type mapping, see Data type mapping for PreparedStatement.setXXX() extensions.
