Hi,
I've just created some tables that I designed using the MySQL Workbench
Model. However, the database type BOOLEAN which was in my models has been
converted to TINYINT(1); I'm currently running MySQL Version 5.6.2-m5 on
Windows 2008 server.
Any ideas why this has been removed ?

Hi, Like the link states
For clarity: a TINYINT(1) datatype does NOT ENFORCE a boolean value data
entry. For instance, it's still possible to insert a value of 2 (any
integer up to the TINYINT max value). I personally don't see the added
value of a 'BOOLEAN' synonym type which infact behaves
Hey Neil,
Why not just store it as a TINYINT, that's what I do when I only care
about 0 or 1 values?

Why not use ENUM with True|False or Y|N Only issue is it doesn't throw
and error of you enter an illegal value but I don't think I've ever
flagged the field as NOT NULL.

In query syntax, TRUE is the same as 1; FALSE is the same as 0.
and UNKNOWN is NULL. (I actually have used a three-state comparison.)
It has been suggested that one who wants a real two-state field use the type
CHAR(0) NULL.

server I can simple do an insert using SQL like the following (from
within ASP):
INSERT INTO tblMyTable (booleanField) VALUES (" myBooleanVariant ");"
Unfortunately, mySQL doesn't appear to have a boolean datatype and myODBC doesn't seem
to convert True/False to 1/0.
The best
manual for 'boolean datatype' and other similar
searches.
Is there a datatype or an easier workaround for this?
Many thanks in advance,

Enum would allow me to have two values such as 'True' and 'False' ?
The problem is when I pass in this SQL statement to mySQL:
