I have a mySQL table with multiple columns (tinyint) with 0 or 1 values
I want to convert all these values into bits in a single integer column So a column named column1 will go to MSB another column will set 2nd bit etc...
How do I do it?

can you explain better? I don't get your problem – jcho360 May 17 '12 at 14:52
Use logical shifts << plus a bitwise or | operation.
For example:
SELECT (col1<<16) | (col2<<15) | (col3<<14) | (col4<<13) ...
MySQL docs are here.

As long as a user remembers the order of the columns processed and has no need to do any mass querying of a single bit, this look like a good solution. +1 – RolandoMySQLDBA May 17 '12 at 16:23
