> This minor issue is in relation to a bug at Liquibase (https://liquibase.jira.com/browse/CORE-1088) that occurred due to the addition of the boolean type.
> Prior to the boolean type I am assuming that just about everyone would resort to using smallint.Older databases that may have been machine created based on meta-data are not going to be compatible with future code that will now assume boolean is the norm.
> The improvement I am suggesting is that when smallint columns are fed a boolean value that '1' is accepted as 'true' and anything else 'false'  (0 would be a good idea), and likewise for retrieval. Although technically correct, throwing an exception seems to be a touch aggressive here as smallint is more than capable of storing a bit.
