Yesterday a coworker asked why she got an error when trying to enter a "1" in a bit column in a table in Management Studio. I figured she must have entered an extra space or something. I was wrong. Turns out that in SQL Server 2005, at least when entering data using Management Studio,
you have to enter true or false! Who thought that was a good idea? There must be something I'm not understanding. Why Microsoft?! Why must I type three or four extra characters?! Why won't you let me be lazy?!
