[SQLObject] problem: implementing BoolCol

Ian and all,

I tried to implement BoolCol and have the following problem:

The function sqlRepr in SQLBuilder.py should cast boolean values to
either 't' or 'f'  (or some alternative reps).  Problem is that (in
Python 2.2 that I use), there is no Boolean type and sqlRepr has only
the python type of the (value) object and knows nothing about the
related ColType (SQL type).  So I can't figure out how to recognize
that I deal with a boolean in sqlRepr...  

Would it be worth while to refactor sqlRepr to get a second argument
that specifies the desired SQL type?

cheers
