Re: [MS_AccessPros] sql for make table query with a boolean field

 

Liz-

With a "Make Table" query, you're at the mercy of SQL using default data types - for example, Text (255) for all strings and number / double for most numbers.  To control the data type, you need to build the table in advance - either in code or the UI - and then use INSERT.

Pros, in a rush here so thought I'd ask the experts.  I need to create a table with a default of a Boolean yes/no type field.

 

My sql is:

 

SELECT ptBOM1Level.Username, ptBOM1Level.OpSeqBOM, ptBOM1Level.IXKIT, ptBOM1Level.IXITM, ptBOM1Level.IMLITM, ptBOM1Level.IMDSC1, ptBOM1Level.QTYPER, ptBOM1Level.IXSCRP, ptBOM1Level.IMLLX, ptBOM1Level.IBMERL, ptBOM1Level.IBSTKT, ptBOM1Level.IBGLPT, ptBOM1Level.IBITC, "" AS Revision, True AS DeleteFlag INTO tblBOMTempFS

FROM ptBOM1Level;

 

But it results in a "number" value.  Subsequent coding needs to set this to "true or false" so I'd rather not just deal with this as being numeric.

 

Thanks.
