Yes, and in the Standards, you treat them as if they were character
strings. The operations are bit string comparison, assignment, bit
concatenation operator, bit substring function, length, and position.
You do not have bit-wise operators like you do in T-SQL or assembly
language.
When you try to use them with a host languages, you get all kinds of
problems -- high end or low end bytes? Does 0 or 1 mean "TRUE"?
