Postgres supports bool as the SQL3 boolean type. bool can have one of only two states: 'true' or 'false'. A third state, 'unknown', is not implemented and is not suggested in SQL3; NULL is an effective substitute. bool can be used in any boolean expression, and boolean expressions always evaluate to a result compatible with this type.
bool uses 4 bytes of storage.
