BUG: Table Designer Cannot Create a Bit Column Which Allows NULL

The information in this article applies to:
BUG #: 51191 (SQLBUG_70)

SYMPTOMS

When using the SQL Server Enterprise Manager Table Designer to create a table, you cannot create a bit column that allows NULLs. The Allow Nulls check box will not accept a check mark.


WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use Query Analyzer to issue the Transact-SQL CREATE TABLE statement. The CREATE TABLE statement allows you to create a nullable bit column. For example, use the following statement: 


CREATE TABLE mytable ( f1 bit NULL )


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 7.0.
