Date Time or Time Stamp?

  • Should I use the datetime or timestamp data type in MySQL? 33 answers

  • I'm assuming you're talking about a database table. If that is the case and you need to know date information choose a date time for both modify_date and create_date . If you don't need date information use a time stamp.


    Depends on your requirements. If you want to know the exact time these things happened then use a date/time (DATETIME in MySQL). Or, if you're happy with with just the date then choose date (DATE in MySQL)! If you don't know when maybe use DATETIME just to be safe (so you have the precision if you need it).

    You're using MySQL so here is the documentation: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/datetime.html


    Sorry I'm from Ukraine and I use Google Translate. It all depends on how you are going to use them, if you take away from each other then TimeStamp, if just to show (for example in the news), then it is better Date Time. Generally I recommend TimeStamp
