I have an application that I am working on that may do some regular, cron
generated time date conversions.
It would do:
DATE + TIME = TIMESTAMP.
It would do a LOT of thesebut spread out over every day to keep the load down
and allow the server to do it's may job, dish out the results.
What are the tradeoffs in storage space, indexed query speed of the DATE and
TIME formats, and speed of the math for the various for the combinations of
DATE and TIME that would be possible to derive timestamps from?

EARTH has a Right To Life
I agree with Bolivian President Evo Morales
# The right to life: "The right for no ecosystem to be eliminated by the
irresponsible acts of human beings."
# The right of biosystems to regenerate themselves: "Development cannot be
infinite. There's a limit on everything."
# The right to a clean life: "The right for Mother Earth to live without
contamination, pollution. Fish and animals and trees have rights."
# The right to harmony and balance between everyone and everything: "We are all
interdependent."
