RE: can't parse "f"

I was using the bit type, which resulted in a different error, but then I switched to the bool type...  Here's the way I'm setting up the field:

-------
create table MDXProvider ( . . . outsideProvider bool not null . . . )
-------

Is there another way to set it up?  Should I be saying "outsideProvider boolean not null"?

        Is the field type actually boolean in the table?  It is using pg_atoi,
which would seem to indicate that it is trying to deal with an integer
value...
