# BEST PRACTICES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Create a new table
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Example:**
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `table`(
|
||
|
|
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
|
||
|
|
`active` BOOLEAN DEFAULT NULL,
|
||
|
|
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
|
||
|
|
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Boolean datatype in mysql:**
|
||
|
|
Use "TinyInt(1)"" or "Boolean" (this is the same thing)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"bit(1)" can also work, but it may require a syntax like b'(0) and b'(1) when inserting (not sure).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there are multiple booleans in the same table, bit(1) is better, otherwise it's the same result.
