MySQL - boolean values?

Hi,

Is there a correct way to hold a boolean value in mysql? I've always used tinyint set to 0 or 1 - but I find it hard to believe that with all the functionality of mySQL they missed boolean values!.

I'm not sure if this will raise problems when I give the client access to the db using Access2k through mysqlODBC - anyone any ideas?

MySQL version: 4.0.13

Thanks, J

RE: MySQL - boolean values?

From http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Column_types.html

Quote:
BIT
BOOL
BOOLEAN
These are synonyms for TINYINT(1). The BOOLEAN synonym was added in version 4.1.0. A true boolean type will be introduced in accordance with SQL-99.
