- The bitwise operators in SQL Server are:
- & (Bitwise AND)
 - ~ (Bitwise NOT)
 - | (Bitwise OR)
 - ^ (Bitwise Exclusive OR)
 
 - From a database design perspective, bitwise operators can be used to store a complex set of criteria as a single value as opposed to having numerous lookup tables or numerous columns used as a ‘flag’ or condition indicator.
