In a routine in MySql 5.5 there seems to be no equivalent MySqlDBType for the SqlDBType.Char in MS SQL. What should one use?

Your script no longer trigger any bug. It seems that the problem with joins was fixed, that’s correct? Your script no longer trigger any bug.

I think it is a bad idea to pack multiple bits into a single variable-width column the way MySQL does. A bit column should be a single bit, and if you want multiple bits, you should define multiple columns. Bool would probably be fine.

I was just asked about a bitfield type in Drizzle and came up with your post after google'ing for it. If you were going to design one, and I am not sure that it is a good idea at all, how would you do it? Would a bool type be just as good? Cheers, -Brian Hi!
