what datatype to use for boolean valued column (was "A Beginners doubt")

Hi all,
I'am new to DB design.
And recently started a DB design.
I want to have a boolean valued column.
I'am not sure of which SQL data type to be selected.
I read in an article that, 'bit' datatype is not
supported in some DBs. So, I'am not sure - whether
I can select 'int' datatype - which is more common.

I know - its simple question for experienced people
in the forum.

It'll be nice if some one can help me out on that.

Thanks in advance.
