Have used many databases but am just getting into MySQL and am totally rapt about it :) I am writing a front end in realBasic that needs to be able to run on various backends, MySQL being the main one. All of the others have a boolean type of column. What is the general practice to Śmimicą a BOOLEAN field in MySQL? PS: I do not need NULL or date for example, I just need true or false, yes or no etc...
