NAME

DBIx::XMLServer::BooleanField - Boolean field type

DESCRIPTION

This class implements the built-in Boolean field type of DBIx::XMLServer. The where and value methods are overridden from the base class.

where method

$sql_expression = $boolean_field->where($condition);

The condition must either be empty, or be equal to one of the following:

!
=1
=y
=yes
=true
=0
=n
=no
=false .

If the condition is empty, then the SQL expression is

<field> IS NOT NULL .

If the condition is the character '!', then the SQL expression is

<field> IS NULL .

Otherwise, the SQL expression returned is equal to

<field> = 'Y'  or  <field> = 'N'

accordingly.

value method

The value is either 'true' or 'false', as required by the xsi:boolean type in XML Schema.
