在Oracle和PG中都可以使用int类型模拟布尔类型，但通过JDBC接口（JDBC驱动，Oracle为11.2.0.4，PG为9.3）获取出来的值却不一致，这一点需要注意。
测试脚本

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代码

/* * */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

执行结果

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

使用JDBC，在PG中，只有1视为T，其他为F；而在Oracle中，只有0视为F，其他视为T。
但在PG中，如把int转换为boolean，则行为与Oracle一致。
