Description:
TinyInt(1) data type for a column is translated as a Boolean in .NET POCO class and ADO.NET Entity framework

How to repeat:
1) Create a table with a TINYINT(1) column type
2) Using the MySQL.Data and MySQL.Data.Entity NuGet packages, create a ADO.NET Entity Data model
3) Observe that the data type for the TINYINT(1) is now shown as "Boolean"

Thanks for your report,

This is not actually a bug, you can add to your connection string 
"Treat Tiny As Boolean=false;"

and now the tinyint will be interpreted like a type sbyte in C#.
