Database toolbox difference 2014a vs 2016b

Hi all,
I have a question about the way the data is fetched from the database. I am working on a project that involves a lot of DB querying. For years the project has run fine on 2014a (Database Toolbox 5.1). Now we are testing switching to 2016b (Database Toolbox 7.0), but we are experiencing some issues.
The problem we have encountered is the way that boolean values are fetched from the DB. We are running an MS SQLServer DB, where boolean values are stored in a bit column. In 2014a, when fetching these, it returns a cell array with logical values. Now, it returns a logical array.
Problems occur when indexing the data. We should then use [] instead of {}. Given the size of the project, 150k+ lines of code with many of these calls, changing all these indexings will take a lot of time. I was wondering if more people experienced this, and whether you have come up with a solution to the problem.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Robert

I don't remember having the equivalent problem (but I am using Postgres, so maybe there's a difference there).
The only thing I can think of is checking the preferences in MATLAB --> Preferences --> Database Toolbox to see if "Return data / Data return format" is set to cellarray.
