Postgres supports bool as the SQL3 boolean type. bool can have one of
only two states: 'true' or 'false'.

Boolean accepts only one of the following values:

True: 't', TRUE, 't', 'true', 'y', 'yes', '1'
False: 'f', FALSE, 'f', 'false', 'n', 'no', '0'

- Note that you have to enclose data between '' except for words
TRUE/FALSE.
Probably you are trying to insert data in a different way.
