Aaron has this fantastic way of breaking down complex topics to bits that are understandable. I finally understand how to tune my PRAGMA values instead of just copy/pasting from StackOverflow.

Summary

In SQLite, I can store boolean values as integers, using 1 for true and 0 for false. Creating a table with a boolean column as an integer allows me to easily insert and query true and false values. By using ones, zeros, or the keywords true and false, I can effectively manage boolean data without any issues.

Not having a boolean type is not a problem. You can just store it all as an integer. SQLite understands select true, that's gonna give us 1, and select false, that's gonna give us 0. So we can say, create table example and we can put boolean as an integer. And if we were to insert into example values 1 and true and 0 and false, we should be okay.

Select * from example. There you go. It it will transform it into an integer and you can use those keywords if you want. Select * from example where bool equals true. Select * from example where bool equals 1.

Totally fine. Not a big deal. If you need to store boolean values just declare it as an integer column, then use ones or zeros or true or false. Either way, you're gonna be fine.
