Most SQL Dbs use bits, so it would be WHERE field = 1

The entire shirt caused me 4d6 psychological damage.

What is 4d as a numeric format prefix? I only know 0b and 0x. Is it some 4-24 system?

Here 4d6 is Dungeons and Dragons (etc.) shorthand for "roll four six-sided dice and add up the numbers".

And what range can that sum cover?

It's a random number based system with iterations at 4, 8, 10, 12, and because they want people to go insane, 20.

So everything can randomly be 1-20 at any point in time, and then sometimes you add them together and there's maniacal laughter.
