Description
A null value in a Boolean field is displayed as FALSE.

This can cause problems when you transfer the data to other systems inparticular as you can get unexpoected values. Observed data in systemn appears to be correct.

This cn cause data to be left with nulls where none is desired.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create table with boolean fields. Set some firlds to true. DO not set other fields. Don't set value to false. Obderve data with IBConsole.

Workarounds
Setting defaults and requiring a value of course avoids the problem.
