That's the way I do it. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2002 8:15 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: mySQL & CF
Thanks, Mark. I guess the zerofill option is there to prevent a null, if desired? Rick -----Original Message----- From: Mark A. Kruger - CFG [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2002 8:37 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: mySQL & CF Rick, You should put in a zero in my opinion. 1 = "true" and 0 = "false". Using tinyint in this way is fairly common on most DB platforms. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2002 6:40 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: mySQL & CF Hi, all. I'm learning to use mySQL with CF instead of Access... Access had a yes/no field type...in mySQL, I'm using tinyint...is that appropriate? In Access, a value of "Yes" passed in a checkbox formfield put a 1 value in the field with a CFINSERT... Now, the value has been changed to 1 when checked, because mySQL doesn't like "Yes" for tinyint When inserting checkbox values into a mySQL db, I'm using 1 for "Yes" or "True"... but if the checkbox is unchecked, of course, no value is passed and the field (up to this point) has been left blank or null. Should I have it do a zerofill instead of being empty or null? The mySQL fields that were left blank or null when the CFINSERT occured, appropriately left the checkboxes unchecked when I used and update page... Best procedure for handling checkbox values in mySQL?
