In query syntax, TRUE is the same as 1; FALSE is the same as 0. A minor syntax note: ENUM('FALSE', 'TRUE') would require quotes when using it. If you have multiple 'flags', consider the SET datatype. (Yeah, it is somewhat clumsy.) If you have installed 5.6, simply try BOOL or BOOLEAN. I susp

Why not use ENUM with True|False or Y|N Only issue is it doesn't throw and error of you enter an illegal value but I don't think I've ever flagged the field as NOT NULL. On Wed, May 22, 2013 11:32, Darryle Steplight wrote: > Hey Neil, > Why not just store it as a TINYINT, that's what I do when I

Hey Neil, Why not just store it as a TINYINT, that's what I do when I only care about 0 or 1 values? On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 2:19 PM, Neil Tompkins wrote: > Hi Shawn > > I plan in installing the latest MySQL version tomorrow. Does MySQL not > support Bool eg true and false > > Neil > > On 22

Rafal, I benchmark a lot on various hardware and software configurations. When I started 2 years back I went along with the general consensus that XFS is faster than ext4 for MySQL. I recently had the opportunity to see how much of a difference, if any, it made. I didn't find much, especially o
