RE: FN-FORUM MySQL Question

Wow...this is still going.....well I understand about the language barrier,
but there is the J/N (German), O/N (French) and so on.

I do intend to translate the project that I am working on into many
languages and I have decided to go on the single char (Y/N) format. I think
the only real question is what's american for Yes/No....sorry...just a
little humour.

On the other hand Y/N is not multi-lingual, whereas Boolean values are.
