You can specify the date (Datetime or Timestamp) format when creating table as follows:
Type =>Format ------------------------- DATETIME => YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS DATE => YYYY-MM-DD TIME => HH:MM:SS YEAR =>YYYY TIMESTAMP ------------------- TIMESTAMP(14) => YYYYMMDDHHMMSS TIMESTAMP(12) => YYYYMMDDHHMM TIMESTAMP(10) => YYYYMMDDHH TIMESTAMP(8) => YYYYMMDD TIMESTAMP(6) => YYYYMM TIMESTAMP(4) => YYYY TIMESTAMP(2) => YY So you can say something like this: Create table Use (user char(30), LoginTime DATE); # This will set LoginTime as 2004-04-22 Create table Use (user char(30), LoginTime TIMESTAMP(12)); # This will set LoginTime as 200404221810 HTH Babs ||> -----Original Message----- ||> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ||> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 1:56 PM ||> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ||> Subject: Datetime format in MySQL ||> ||> Hi All, ||> Can you specify what format to use for the datetime column eg. ||> in oracle you can say I wanna use DD-MMM-YYYY HH:MM:SS and so on....? ||> ||> Regards, ||> Amit ||> ||> ||> -- ||> MySQL General Mailing List ||> For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql ||> To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
