It is indeed a terrible ommision considering that Codd stated that the
only data type that MUST be in a RDBMS is a BOOLEAN.



There are only 2 values in a BOOLEAN.. TRUE or FALSE.  This is
2-valued logic.



SQL Server 2K has the BIT type which is 3-valued logic.. TRUE, FASLE or
NULL.  Closed but definately no cigar........
