  • Ticket #36101

    • Property Summary Support bit data type model field on MySQL, PostgreSQL → Support BIT data type model field for MySQL and PostgreSQL

  • Ticket #36101 – Description

    initial v1  
    1 Currently Django model field doesn't support bit data type.
     1Support BIT data type model field for MySQL and PostgreSQL
    22
    3 I think It can be helpful to handle bit data type on MySQL, PostgreSQL.
     3Currently, Django's model fields do not support the BIT data type which is available in both MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.
    44
    5 Especially I have below experience.
     5Key reasons for adding BIT data type support:
    66
    7 When I was trying to make a read-only model with inspectdb, bit data type column was made by TextField with `This field type is a guess.`.
     71. Improved Database Inspection
     8   - When using `inspectdb` on tables containing BIT columns, Django currently falls back to TextField with a "This field type is a guess" comment
     9   - Native BitField support would provide accurate model generation for existing databases
    810
    9 It's not a bug. but BitField will makes efficiency bit data type and other experiences on Django
     112. Database-specific Features
     12   - MySQL: Support for BIT(M) where M can specify the number of bits
     13   - PostgreSQL: Support for both BIT(n) and BIT VARYING(n) types
     14   
     153. Use Cases
     16   - Efficient storage of boolean flags and bit flags
     17   - Direct mapping to database-native bit operations
     18   - Better integration with legacy databases using BIT columns
     19
     20This enhancement would improve Django's database type coverage and provide more efficient handling of bit-based data.
