I’m converting some data in SQL Server:
INSERT INTO MYTABLE (AllowEdit)
(Select PreventEdit from SOURCETABLE)
so I need to inverse the bit value from source table. I expected NOT to work, as this is how I would do it in code, but it doesn’t. The most elegant way I can think of is:
INSERT INTO MYTABLE (AllowEdit)
(Select ABS(PreventEdit -1) from SOURCETABLE)
Is there a more standard way to do it?
I did not test this myself, but you should be able to use the bitwise negation operator,
~on a bit:
