Greetings.
I don't understand why DATETIME takes 8 bytes. It's just a waste, since DATE+TIME take 6 bytes. And in fact, while DATE and TIME are each rounded up to bytes on its own, a combined DATETIME should only take 5 bytes:
14 bits for year 04 bits for month 05 bits for day 05 bits for hour 06 bits for minutes 06 bits for seconds --- 40 bits
Any thoughts?
