Which makes the code less reusable in a code that is mixing C and C++,
which is actually what MySQL is all about.

I personally find TRUE/FALSE more readable becasue I code both C and
C++ and 'true' and 'false' looks too much like variables.

It's normal that constants and defines are in upper case. Compare with
NULL.
