Propery type for Bool values for datasets

Post by KW » Tue 28 Oct 2008 01:21

Is there any mysql data type that will properly match to a bool value?

If not, what is the recommended data type for booleans?

We recommend to use the TINYINT(1) data type.

Please refer to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/ ... rview.html , the "BOOL, BOOLEAN" section.
