What are the characteristics of the bit data type in SQL?
Bit datatype in SQL has the following characteristics:
- The bit type is used to store binary values, which can be either 0 or 1.
- The bit type is very efficient in terms of storage space because it only occupies 1 byte.
- Bit data type is very convenient for logical operations, allowing direct manipulation such as AND, OR, and NOT.
- The boolean type can be used to represent true or false values.
- In some database systems, the implementation and default size limits of the bit data type may vary, so it is important to understand the specifics of the database system.
