Hi, i'd like to alter a table which have a date and time field so 3 Bytes for date and 3 Bytes for time. I'd table to add a new field to store date like this : YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
In fact, I can't use indexes on sql query like select with order by with 2 fields date + time and with one unique field i can. So, for this new field that i'll insert and update manually, should i use a Bigint which required 8 Bytes or a Timestamp(14) with 4 Bytes ? Timestamp looks great but, can i insert and update it manually ??
