Eiolon Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I've been using DATETIME to store my dates and times in MySQL. Is there any reason why I should use TIMESTAMP over it besides it being 4 bytes compared to 8 bytes?

Rhysyngsun Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 The problem with TIMESTAMP is that if you don't supply a value or pass null to it when updating/inserting it will use the current server time. Use datetime unless you want this automatic functionality.
