a smallint column should be acceptable for storing millisecond (that's what we use), but depending on the way you need to manipulate those millisecond, a tinyint could be acceptable as well (you only store millisecond with a precision of 1/8 second). -- Pooly Webzine Rock : http://www.w-fenec.org/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
