Appropriate data field type for true/false value?

What's the most appropriate (read leas开发者_如何学运维t data consuming) data field to store a true/false/1/0 value in a mySQL database?

I have previously used a one character long tinyint, but I am not sure if it's the best solution?

Thanks!

tinyint(1)

Is basically aliased from the BOOL data type so it is fine.
