“ERROR 1406: 1406: Data too long for column” but it shouldn't be?

Question

I have the following table structure:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `tblusers`;
/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client     = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_         


        

Answer 1

The BIT data type is used to store bit values. A type of BIT(M) enables storage of M-bit values. M can range from 1 to 64.

UPDATE tblusers SET IsAdmin=b'1' WHERE UserID='012';

UPDATE tblusers SET IsAdmin=b'0' WHERE UserID='012';
