| Is there any setting that I can use to make the bit column display the actual value (1 or 0) instead of (True Or False) when editing/displaying table data in Sql Server 2008Sincerely yoursRiade |

| Use a case statement?Depends on how you are displaying the data but it's a front end thing rathe than to do with the data.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| I still want to store it as Bit datatype.I thought there is an option in SQL 2008 to format the bit column to display 1 or 0 instead of true or false. Back in Sql 2000/2005 I was able to enter 1 or 0 for a bit column when editing the table data.However in Sql 2008 it does not allow the entry of 1 or 0 for bit column, but it allows it through update statement ( strange) .ThanksRiade |
