SQL Server equavelent Boolean values

16 New Member
Hi ALL

I currently have a project where i have to redefine certain table fields and their data types.

The problem is i have fields to mimic or duplicate an access table, but the problem is that certain fields are boolean values with yes/no attributes. Sql server does not support boolean values to my understanding. The sql server corresponding fields are of type char which is updated in a webpage by entering y or n values. Is their a way i can manipulate the the database fields in my sql server database to make it boolean values and receive 1 and 0's? Would using a bit data type for the char fields be a good idea?

The two databased must match, because it is part of an automated process.
Im using SQL Server 2000. version 8


Please any advice.

I initially tested my design by building a collection in code and then serializing it to/from an XML file, which worked fine. However, I have hit a brick wall trying to restore the data from SQL Server. I originally had my collection and object

Hi, I have a web application which sometimes throws an “out of memory” exception.

I have a function that simply returns TRUE if it can connect to a particular Sql Server 2005 express, or FALSE if it cannot. I am getting some strange error codes returned when the computer that sql server resides on is not reachable. The error is different depending on the connection string that I use. If I use the following connection string: "server=192.1.1.1; Initial Catalog=master; uid=The_User; password=The_Password; Connect...

Currently our SQL Server 2000 database table field is using char to store as boolean, ie. "T" or "F". Now we change the field from char to bit field. I am not sure how it has impact on the C# code. For example, the stored procedure returns SELECT * FROM employee There is a field "ismale", "T" is male, "F" is female.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
