I need to compare the bit values of a integer field in my table. For example, I have a table called "t1" with just one field "a1" having following values:
a1 == 0 12 8 0 1 10 7 19
I am trying to fetch all records where the 3rd binary bit is 1, which from the above example should be 12 (00001100) and 7 (00000111). If I convert the values to binary and store it as string, I can easily compare them using substr, but would rather like to retain the integer field. I have tried using the get_bit function, but it seems my understanding of the function is not correct.
