Question

I am familiar with MySQL, and was under the impression that Microsoft SQL wasn’t that different in syntax for the simple stuff.

So whenever I wanted to update the Published field (a boolean) on every row on a table called Country to false, I did this:

UPDATE Country SET Published = false;

When I execute the query, I get this error:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Wrap the value for Published with single quote,

UPDATE Country SET Published = 'false';
