Just a quick note to point out that CakePHP fakes a BOOLEAN field in MySQL by using tinyint(1). MySQL doesn’t have a native support for BOOLEAN.
Therefore if you attempt to save some value other than 0 or 1, CakePHP will not allow you to do that (instead it will just save 1). The easiest way to get around this is to make your field tinyint(2), as one option.
