# SQL Bit Column Update Query

**[1] DANIEL:**

What is the query to change a sql table column value from True to False if the column is a bit

---

**[2] GROK:**

To update a SQL table column of type `bit` from `True` to `False`, you can use the following query:

```sql
UPDATE YourTableName
SET YourColumnName = 0
WHERE YourColumnName = 1;
```

Replace `YourTableName` with the name of your table and `YourColumnName` with the name of the column you want to update. This query assumes `1` represents `True` and `0` represents `False`, which is the standard convention for `bit` columns in SQL.
