+ versions prior to 5.0 lack an appropriate type representing boolean
+ values. It was therefore quite common mapping boolean properties to
+ <code>CHAR(1)</code> with possible values being <code>'Y'</code> and
+ <code>'N'</code>. Hibernate will map boolean values to
+ <code>tinyint(1)</code>. Supporting older software may require to
+ tweak the standard mapping.</para>

+ itself does not offer any interface for this purpose. The
+ persistence provider may offer a solution though. Hibernate for
+ example allows to remap <coref linkend="remapBooleanChar"/> types .
+ We assume our <classname>hibintro.v9.User</classname> class to have
+ a <code>boolean</code> property <code>active</code>:</para>
