That is true - I was actually quoting the value as a literal to make
the query more explicit in the post ... probably not the best judgment
in hindsight given posting to a performance-based mailing list :-). I
do use the WHERE A."boolean" clause in the actual SQL query to avoid
the unneccesary parsing & type casting. Apologies for any confusion.
