> Use ints and bigints? INT much use I's afraid. I want external data processing to get back a format that it can use, but still want to be able to use the MYSQL date functions, which are excellent. A better idea would be TIMESTAMPS(14) but these suffer from the 32bit int 2037 problem (aka the Y2.037K bug) Is there a mySQL god out there? Do I get points for asking mySQL to do LESS rather than more? The tarty output format is fine for display but decidedly uncool for processing. sigh... is it back to Sybase for me? I think I'll go and ask the Oracle. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
