在Oracle和PG中都可以使用int類型模擬布爾類型，但通過JDBC接口（JDBC驅動，Oracle為11.2.0.4，PG為9.3）獲取出來的值卻不一致，這一點需要注意。
測試腳本

drop table tbl1;
create table tbl1(id int,c1 int);
insert into tbl1 values(1,1);
insert into tbl1 values(2,-1);
insert into tbl1 values(3,2);
insert into tbl1 values(4,0);

Java代碼

package testPG;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class TestBoolean {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("---------- PG -----------");
    try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://192.168.26.28:5432/testdb", "pg12",
        "pg12")) {
      TestBool(conn);
    } catch (SQLException se) {
      System.out.println(se.getMessage());
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
    } // end try
    System.out.println("---------- Oracle -----------");
    try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.1.18:1521:orcl", "test",
        "test")) {
      TestBool(conn);
    } catch (SQLException se) {
      System.out.println(se.getMessage());
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
    } // end try
  }
  public static void TestBool(Connection conn) {
    try (PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT id,c1 from tbl1");
        ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();) {
      conn.setAutoCommit(true);
      while (rs.next()) {
        int id = rs.getInt("id");
        int c1 = rs.getInt("c1");
        boolean b1 = rs.getBoolean("c1");
        System.out.println("id:" + id + ",c1:" + c1 + ",b1:" + b1);
      }
    } catch (SQLException se) {
      System.out.println(se.getMessage());
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
    } // end try
  } // end
} // end Class

執行結果

---------- PG -----------
id:1,c1:1,b1:true
id:2,c1:-1,b1:false
id:3,c1:2,b1:false
id:4,c1:0,b1:false
---------- Oracle -----------
id:1,c1:1,b1:true
id:2,c1:-1,b1:true
id:3,c1:2,b1:true
id:4,c1:0,b1:false

使用JDBC，在PG中，只有1視為T，其他為F；而在Oracle中，只有0視為F，其他視為T。
但在PG中，如把int轉換為boolean，則行為與Oracle一致。
