How to use a bit data type in OutSystems

Question

I am trying to work with conditional data ( true or false ) in outsystems using bits (0 or 1). All I see is an option for a boolean. Does outsystems have a bit data type?

Answer 1

Short answer: no.

Long answer: boolean data types are mapped into the database as 0 (false) and 1 (true). Additionally, you can use integers to do that logic, but I would advise against it.

Cheers!
