Hello well im desingin my EOModel FINALLY!!!, and well when I set an attribute the prototype a boolean, the External Type its set to VARCHAR, shouldnt be BOOLEAN or BOOL or something like that?

Depends. The problem is, that databases model booleans differently because in the SQL92 standard there was no "boolean". The varchar(5) that writes "true" or "false" to the database is something that is more readable than 1 and 0 and still works on all database systems.
