In MariaDB, FALSE is a synonym of 0 and TRUE is a synonym of 1. These constants are case insensitive, so TRUE, True, and true are equivalent.
These terms are not synonyms of 0 and 1 when used with the IS operator. So, for example, 10 IS TRUE returns 1, while 10 = TRUE returns 0 (because 1 != 10).
A third constant exists: UNKNOWN. It is always a synonym of NULL.
TRUE and FALSE are reserved words, while UNKNOWN is not.
