store timezone
Hi All, Is it possible to store the timezone with datetime data type in mysql or any other approach available to achieve this in mysql. Looking for your help. Thanks, Manoj
Re: store timezone
MySQL doesn't support timezones (I think Postgres does). I usually just store dates as Greenwich Mean Time and store the time zone hours offset in a separate field.

Re: store timezone
Agreed. Store as UTC. You can always convert to the needed timezone during query or during display. See MySQL's CONVERT_TZ() function.

User Defined Types
Hello, I am evaluating MySQL. I am coming from Microsoft SQL Server 2005. This may have been discussed before but I have not been able to find it. In SQL Server you are able to define a user-defined type like this: CREATE TYPE [dbo].[status] FROM INT NOT NULL This will allow you to then define columns like this: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tableName] ( [statusColumn] [dbo].[status] ) Is there such a thing in MySQL? Thanks, Jeff

Re: tracing table updates
Hi Peter, Thanks for your help. I now created a trigger that would do an insert on another table on what changes has been made to the other table. another question is, is it possible to get the host from where the update request came from from the trigger?
