[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (TEIID-799) String to boolean conversion should not throw an exception

[Steven Hawkins (JIRA)]

Steven Hawkins updated TEIID-799:
---------------------------------

        Summary: String to boolean conversion should not throw an exception  (was: String to boolean conversion should throw an exception)
    Description: The string to boolean conversion should not throw an exception since that behavior is not easily ported to sources.  Instead both the number to boolean and the string to boolean conversion should rely on effective boolean value logic.  If the value is null, then null.  If the value is false ('0', 'false') then false, else true.  (was: To be more inline with the sql spec.  The string to boolean conversion should throw an exception rather than using the default Boolean.valueOf method when the input string is not one of 0,1,TRUE,FALSE,UNKNOWN.  As it stands the method is inappropriately marked as non-narrowing and maps any non-true value to false.)
        Affects: [Documentation (Ref Guide, User Guide, etc.)]
