Bit datatype in MS SQL


hi,

im using ms sql 2005..

bit datatype define 0/1..

how define bit other 0/1, example want define male/female, red/green etc..is possible? or there other datatype more suitable define gender(male/female)? or need use varchar?

tq..

 


a bit value may 0, 1 or null.  typically, 0 , 1 translate to boolean in programming appropriate data type when need true/false or yes/no values.  possible use bit gender not intuitive value might indicate male or female.  instead use "gender_code char(1)" check constrant allowing m or f.
