just was reading thru the mysql jdbc driver release notes, 8.0.27 has some new (odd imho behavior) The

ResultSet.getBoolean()

method now returns `true`/`false` for

VARCHAR

values of “T”/“F”. (Bug #33185116)

Odd decision. I could not find a publicly-viewable doc detailing 33185116. I'd love to know the rationale. I could not find a precedent for

T

and

F

being like boolean literals in SQL anywhere.

Everyone knows boolean = "YES"/"NO".

I await CFML to decide it had better support "Tes" and "Fo", just to be safe.
