This is one of my first forays into ODBC, so I didn't know that was a
possibility. Is there any place where these are documented? Searching
for ODBC options yields info on connection options, but none on
behavior that I could find.   

I know that there are a couple of options that affect the
representation of Booleans in the odbc driver.  I'm not sure it will
do what you need though.

However, here is the official documentation: (hopefully it helpful)

Yes there is an option to change bools to char

• Data Type Options: affects how some data types are mapped:
   
  • Text as LongVarChar: PostgreSQL TEXT type is mapped to SQLLongVarchar, otherwise SQLVarchar.
  • Unknowns as LongVarChar: Unknown types (arrays, etc) are mapped to SQLLongVarChar, otherwise SQLVarchar
  • Bools as Char: Bools are mapped to SQL_CHAR, otherwise to SQL_BIT.

My memory is fuzzy but there are some additional settings in Access that allows data type mapping...
