Just noticed that you have a table below that gives the storage sizes. So
we don't even have to mention it in this paragraph. Possible revised wordsmith:
"** specifies a datetime column. If _timestamp-precision_ is specified and is
zero, the timestamp in external form is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. In all other
cases, the timestamp in external form is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.ffffff, the number
of digits to the right of the decimal point being equal to
_timestamp-precision_. If _timestamp-precision_ is omitted, it defaults to six."
