I just ran a little test on the Order Details table (Northwind Sample mdb)
- I added a new column, called it Shipped with a data type of "Yes/No"
(default no)
- Created an ODBC DSN for this mdb
- Looks like it created a Datatype of "Bit" ([shipped] [bit] NOT NULL )

Hope this helps,
Mark

Subject: How to create a yes/no field


I am trying to create a Access table with the following definitions, but I
don't know what the definition of a yes/no field is.  Can someone help
me out here?  Here is what I have so far, and everything is working.  All
I need as the final piece of the puzzle is that binary field definition.

<code below>

my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:database_name') || die DBI::errstr;

my $sth = $dbh->do("CREATE TABLE sample_table (sid COUNTER,
report_name VARCHAR(64), creator VARCHAR(255), creation_date
DATE, abstract LONGCHAR)
                   ");
$dbh->disconnect;

<code above>

Thanks in advance.

Brad Smith
