I got it made, Active enum('1') works. Thanks everyone!

I had to import old database into MySQL with '1','0' as default. I wanted to
enumerate it so that I can easily use False/true without altering anything
in the current database configurations.

Why don't you set enum('TRUE','FALSE')? I ask this because normally you
would query, when using NULL (all caps), WHERE Active IS NULL or IS NOT
NULL.

I believe that you have a fundamental misunderstanding about ENUM. You
can set the values, and subsequently the default value of the field as
you wish and then construct your queries based on that.
