Re: Converting Informix datetime data types

Hi Partha,

MySQL does not currently have date and time types with this level of sub-second precision. If you really need to store this precision, you might break out a second FLOAT column and use that precision when necessary for the non-date portion of your data. You might suggest under what circumstances you need this kind or precision for other work arounds, for example if this is merely for queueing accuracy based on time, then you might use a float and store a unix/windows timestamp directly in the column.

Regards,

Josh
