From the MySQL manual:

BOOL
BOOLEAN
These are synonyms for TINYINT(1). The BOOLEAN synonym was added in MySQL
4.1.0. A value of zero is considered false. Non-zero values are considered
true. In the future, full boolean type handling will be introduced in
accordance with standard SQL.

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

Show full header Is there any way to make relevance when using boolean mode more useful? If not, are there plans in the Fulltext development "todo" for making it useful? I'm thinking of just counting the keyword occurences in records with a PHP script somehow and using that to order the records somehow. Or doing a non boolean fulltext search w/relevance first and then melding that in somehow with a boolean search. See my results...

In java for instance there's a way to use booleans as objects and not as value types. I would like to do the same in VB.NET so that I can check if the boolean has been explicitely defined (is not Nothing). But Boolean is a Structure in VB.NET (defined to False by default) and not an Object so I'm afraid there's no way to do what I want without any workaround. Can you confirm that there's no object version of Boolean in VB.NET? Thanks

I'm having an issue passing a boolean to the constructor of an object. For some reason, if I pass false into the constructor, it doesn't register. If I pass an integer 0, it does.

$result = $class->method(); //returns an array of associative arrays if($result==TRUE) $cat=$result; I've been converting a class from an original and the original class *apparently* returned an array that could be boolean tested. My conversion seems to have lost this ability. if($result) seems to be testing for non-NULL which gets me what I need, but I don't want to change these lines in the program. I *can* change the class coding.
