• There's no need to shout at me, and doing so is not going to get you the response that you apparently want! Yelling at someone because you don't like or don't agree with what they're saying is rude at best.

    Now, as I said before, there is NO special meaning to 0 or 1 in the bit type. There is no intrinsic definition of the two in the definition of the data type. If you want to declare a column called Colour as BIT and have 1 mean 'red' and 0 mean 'blue', that is totally up to you.

    The only meanings of 0 and 1 in the BIT data type are the mathematical ones.
