How to Set Bool Value in SQL

How to set bool value in SQL

Sql server does not expose a boolean data type which can be used in queries.

Instead, it has a bit data type where the possible values are 0 or 1.

So to answer your question, you should use 1 to indicate a true value, 0 to indicate a false value, or null to indicate an unknown value.

Update [mydb].[dbo].[myTable]
SET isTrue =
CASE WHEN Name = 'Jason' THEN 
    1
ELSE 
    0
END

In SQL SERVER it is BIT, though it allows NULL to be stored

ALTER TABLE person add  [AdminApproved] BIT default 'FALSE';

Also there are other mistakes in your query

1. When you alter a table to add column no need to mention column keyword in alter statement

2. For adding default constraint no need to use SET keyword

3. Default value for a BIT column can be ('TRUE' or '1') / ('FALSE' or 0). TRUE or FALSE needs to mentioned as string not as Identifier

How to create a yes/no boolean field in SQL server?

The equivalent is a BIT field.

In SQL you use 0 and 1 to set a bit field (just as a yes/no field in Access). In Management Studio it displays as a false/true value (at least in recent versions).

When accessing the database through ASP.NET it will expose the field as a boolean value.

)
THEN CAST(1 AS BIT)
ELSE CAST(0 AS BIT) END
