Hi I have a .txt file that is loaded into my table. This is done using LOAD DATA INFILE.... One of the columns data is a unix timestamp from the .txt file. The column is called begin.
I have created the column as a varchar before and then converted the date using FROM_UNIXTIME(), so it can be readable. My question is: Should I create this column "begin" as "DATETIME, DATE, or TIMESTAMP" or since I'm converting the unix time leave it as a varchar???
