Yes there is an option to change bools to char

* *Data Type Options:* affects how some data types are mapped:
o /Text as LongVarChar/: PostgreSQL TEXT type is mapped to
SQLLongVarchar, otherwise SQLVarchar.
o /Unknowns as LongVarChar/: Unknown types (arrays, etc) are
mapped to SQLLongVarChar, otherwise SQLVarchar
o /Bools as Char/: Bools are mapped to SQL_CHAR, otherwise to
SQL_BIT.

My memory is fuzzy but there are some additional settings in Access that
allows data type mapping...
