the answer is...  boolean.

Charley, i'm not sure.  this code worked before i
upgraded both pgsql.  at least i'm pretty darn sure it
did.  then again, maybe i've lost my mind.  having
said that, i don't see anything in the code that says
"boolean" to me.

i will try and cast it is an integer and let the adodb
maintainer know about this issue.
