hi all,

i have a question about booleans. i heard that a
boolean takes more processing power than setting an
integer as 1 or 0 and coding around those values. is
this really an issue anyone will notice?

also, i understand that db portablility is somewhat
compromised when one uses pg's boolean data type.

are these really issues or am i over analyzing here?

tia...
