does mySQL support a boolean data type?

I ran a search through the mySQL manual and google and could not find a
satisfactory answer. Does mySQL support the declaration of a boolean
data type? Currently I am using VARCHAR(6)s with either 'TRUE' or
'FALSE' and would like to cut down on the storage.

Thanks in advance,

Dan Anderson

I have been using MySql as the database using JSP's and JavaBeans but recently I have wanted to start using the database connection pooling mechanism built into TomCat. I think I am having a problem with defining my JDBC resource within Tomcat. I am pretty sure that my code is correct (but I am not certain), and the problem is with defining the resource in Tomcat. Has anyone done this before? Any advice would be helpful.

Hello everyone, I have created a custom component and one of its properties is a class object with it's own properties. During runtime, I can assign values to the class object properties just fine. However, when attempting to assing default values as designtime in the propertygrid, nothing is working on the class object. I know that I am doing it wrong, any ideas what it is? Thanks in advance
