Mysql store boolean that reads to true or false

Question

I'd like to create a column which will contain boolean values, I don't want to use TINYINT(0) and store 0 for false and 1 for true, instead i'd like to store "true" or "false" values but not as VARCHAR values.

I'm doing this because I'm using Extjs, and I'm dynamically creating comboboxes, I need those boolean values to use as parameters like so :

function createComboBox(editable) {
var combo = new Ext.form.ComboBox({
    typeAhead: true,
    mode: 'local',
    forceSelection: true,
    triggerAction: 'all',
    emptyText: 'Select item...',
    selectOnFocus: true,
    //...other settings
    editable: editable // true or false
});
return combo;
};

And editable would be "true" or "false" (without quotes).

Should I just use a varchar column and remove the quotes in Extjs? Is there a better way?

Answer 1

您可以使用ENUM（'true'，'false'）作为列数据类型。

Answer 2

使用int并将其转换为布尔值（但可能并非真正需要）：

var boolValue = !!intValue;
