-- Create a table:
CREATE TABLE bool_type_t1  
(
    BT_COL1 BOOLEAN,
    BT_COL2 TEXT
) DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(BT_COL2);

--Insert data:
INSERT INTO bool_type_t1 VALUES (TRUE, 'sic est');

INSERT INTO bool_type_t1 VALUES (FALSE, 'non est');

-- View data:
SELECT * FROM bool_type_t1;
 bt_col1 | bt_col2 
---------+---------
 t       | sic est
 f       | non est
(2 rows)

SELECT * FROM bool_type_t1 WHERE bt_col1 = 't';
 bt_col1 | bt_col2 
---------+---------
 t       | sic est
(1 row)

-- Delete the tables:
DROP TABLE bool_type_t1;
