# Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Boolean(3pm)

Boolean column metadata.

## NAME

Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Boolean - Boolean column metadata.

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Boolean;
  $col = Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Boolean->new(...);
  $col->make_methods(...);
  ...
```

## DESCRIPTION

Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for boolean columns in a database.  Column metadata objects store information about columns (data type, size, etc.) and are responsible for creating object methods that manipulate column values.

This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar. Inherited methods that are not overridden will not be documented a second time here.  See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar documentation for more information.

## METHOD MAP

- "get\_set"

  Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, boolean, ...

- "get"

  Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, boolean, ...

- "get\_set"

  Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, boolean, ...

See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for an explanation of this method map.

## OBJECT METHODS

- **parse\_value DB, VALUE**

  Parse VALUE and return true or false according to how the underlying database would view VALUE as the value for a boolean column.  DB is a Rose::DB object that is used as part of the parsing process.  Both arguments are required.

- **type**

  Returns "boolean".
