Rails - Sep 2009 - MySQL BIT column type in ActiveRecord

I''m attempting to access a MySQL BIT(1) column with
b''1'' as the data in
the case of a true boolean from within activerecord and am unable to get
any output.  The table was created by Hibernate (which uses BIT as it''s
boolean type).

I''ve done a considerable amount of searching on this but have not been
able to find an answer.  Am I missing something here or is this type of
field unsupported?  The docs say it maps to a string type but I never
get any result when accessing the attributes and attempts at casting
haven''t gotten me anywhere.

Nevermind on this... Figured it out...  The spreadsheet I was putting 
these in was removing the value due to the slashes used in the string 
that was being returned.
