Yes you must be able query bits with help of BaseObject Method.
As I recall they have some bit functions...

I just not sure this is really better.
You will need have column 800 bits = 100 bytes.
For each record!!!

1) with help of numbers you get just e.g.
    
    "34,56,79,64" = 12 bytes.

2) and second problem with bits, INDEXES. For each bit index ?
Too many overhead. 

I think numbers with comas are better
