You could use the BIT datatype to represent boolean data (a BIT field's value is either 1 or 0)
Use the Bit datatype. It has values 1 and 0 when dealing with it in native t-sql
You may want to use the BIT
data type, probably setting is as NOT NULL

Quoting the MSDN article:
bit (Transact-SQL)
An integer data type that can take a value of 1, 0, or NULL.
The SQL Server Database Engine optimizes storage of bit columns. If there are 8 or less bit columns in a table, the columns are stored as 1 byte. If there are from 9 up to 16 bit columns, the columns are stored as 2 bytes, and so on.
The string values TRUE and FALSE can be converted to bit values: TRUE is converted to 1 and FALSE is converted to 0.
