    <p>In a Django application, I'm trying to access an existing MySQL database created with Hibernate (a Java ORM). I reverse engineered the model using:</p> <pre><code>$ manage.py inspectdb &gt; models.py </code></pre> <p>This created a nice models file from the Database and many things were quite fine. But I can't find how to properly access boolean fields, which were mapped by Hibernate as columns of type BIT(1).</p> <p>The inspectdb script by default creates these fields in the model as TextField and adds a comment saying that it couldn't reliably obtain the field type. I changed these to BooleanField but and opened my model objects using the admin, but it doesn't work (the model objects always fetch a value of true for these fields). Using IntegerField won't work as well (e.g. in the admin these fields show strange non-ascii characters).</p> <p>Any hints of doing this without changing the database? (I need the existing Hibernate mappings and Java application to still work with the database).</p> <hr> <p>Further info: I left these fields as BooleanField and used the interactive shell to look at the fetched values. They are returned as '\x00' (when Java/Hibernate value is false) and '\x01' (when true), instead of Python boolean values "True" and "False".</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; u = AppUser.objects.all()[0] &gt;&gt;&gt; u.account_expired '\x00' &gt;&gt;&gt; u.account_enabled '\x01' </code></pre> <p>Where the model includes:</p> <pre><code>class AppUser(models.Model): account_expired = models.BooleanField() account_enabled = models.BooleanField(blank=True) # etc... </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
