You're probably missing in the CHANGES file, and in the connection properties the fact that by default, Connector/J will treat a column with the data type/storage of TINYINT(1) as a boolean.

That was the missing piece, I didn't catch the note in the CHANGES file. And, uh, not to sound critical (but here's a criticism) the docs really need to be updated to reflect the changes file.

I mean, that changes file is HUGE. It's getting to the point where a lot of key information that should be documented isn't, and is instead simple logged in the changelog.

How does the MySQL documentation process work? I'd be happy to do some updates to the docs (this one, particularly) but I have no clue how the MySQL organization organizes and handles documentation editing.

What isn't working with this from your perspective, or are you trying to decipher the docs before attempting to code?

Wasn't coding yet, was getting myself educated before delving into code.

Thanks Mark!
