True/False vs 0/1 in MySQL

Question

Which is faster in a MySQL database? Booleans, or using zero and one to represent boolean values? My frontend just has a yes/no radio button.

Answer 1

In MySQL TRUE and FALSE are synonyms for TINYINT(1).

So therefore its basically the same thing, but MySQL is converting to 0/1 - so just use a TINYINT if that's easier for you

P.S.
The performance is likely to be so minuscule (if at all), that if you need to ask on StackOverflow, then it won't affect your database :)
