logical and

Hi,
I want to do a logical comparison between two tinyint-columns in a select
statement.
With logical I mean: if a bit in the tinyints are both 1 then comparison is
true.
00001000 and 11000001 = false
10101010 and 00000010=true
Can this be done in SQLServer?
Thanks
FrankThe bitwise AND logical operator in SQL Server is '&'. This expects integer
values. Converting your binary values to integer:
IF 8 & 193 = 193 PRINT 'true' ELSE PRINT 'false'
IF 170 & 2 = 2 PRINT 'true' ELSE PRINT 'false'
See Bitwize AND in the Books Online for more information.
Hope this helps.

Dan pointed you in the right direction, and I'll just note that
to see if X and Y have a common bit set, compare X & Y
with 0.

If X & Y = 0 then you have no bits in common.
X 1001
Y 0110
======
0000
IF X & Y = Y then you have Y bits in common.
X 1001
Y 0001
======
0001 <-- Same as Y
IF X & Y > 0 then you have at lest some bits in common, but not necessarily
all of them.
X 1001
Y 0011
======
0001 > 0 At least one bit in common.
