you could however use diutil.bool_to_int and diutil.int_to_bool which is used by oracle to transmit/receive Boolean data across SqlNet.

Since others have pointed out, Boolean is not a SQL datatype, you could not build a FBI around it, deterministic or no, it doesn't make a difference. Use diutil.bool_to_int around the return value and your function returns a number (0 or 1) and now you can build a FBI.

Erm.. ee.. if you put a wrapper function over it which retuns number... (just joking)

Ok, I was too short-sighted there. I just checked from v$type_size that boolean still exists and didn't think much more.

I actually checked whether it was possible to still conduct some kind of working example, but didn't succed in 5 minutes, so be it ;)
