date column question

2004-02-11 Thread rmck
I have a varchar field start on my db that stores dates. The dates are loaded into mysql from a txt file which are like this 2004-02-10 23:35:12 in the txt file. I'm thinking this is not a correct choice of datatype for the column which is called start. What is the best or recommended datatype
