Date and time in MySQL can be stored as DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, and INTEGER (number of seconds since 01/01/1970). What are the benefits and drawbacks of each, particularly when developing under a LAMP stack?

I am curious to know How to Convert 64bit Long Data Type to 16bit Data Type. As this feature is required in the Ethernet Application to include Time Stamp. We left with only 2Bytes [16bits] to include Time Stamp. We get 64bit long the Time Stamp from Win API.
Any answer will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

How would one go about implementing a "who's online" feature using PHP? Of course, it would involve using timestamps, and, after looking at phpBB's session table, might involve storing latest visits in a database.
Is this an efficient method, or are there better ways of implementing this idea?

Hi All
I'm looking into basic time functions (creating a UTC timestamp and converting into a local timezone). The first set of tutorials i encountered pointed toward PEAR as it's better at avoiding overspill errors in calculations. Now, mid-way through another, it appears that PEAR has issues with some of it's timezone functions running...
Hi there
I have a function inside of a view function inside of a model class in the model.php file that looks like this
function sqlToUnix($date){
$YMDThenHMS = explode(" ", $date);
$YMD = explode("-", $YMDThenHMS[0]);
$HMS = explode(":", $YMDThenHMS[1]);
$UnixTime = mktime($HMS[0], $HMS[1], $HMS[2], $YMD[1], $YMD[2], $...
This is seriously killing me. I'm trying to convert a Unix timestamp (1236268800, which equates to Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:00:00 GMT) to a Date object in Flex.
var timestamp:Number = 1236268800;
trace(new Date(timestamp));
Output: Wed Jan 14 23:24:28 GMT-0800 1970
Also tried this:
var timestamp:Number = 1236268800;
var date:Date = new D...
I have a database table. It has several hundred entries and each entry is timestamped. I'm looking to only output each day and not have it duplicate any days.
Data:
2009-02-04 06:20:27
2009-02-04 06:20:27
2009-02-05 06:20:27
2009-02-07 06:20:27
2009-02-07 06:20:27
2009-02-07 06:20:27
Output should only be (time is irrelevant):

Please include the nanos, otherwise it would be trivial:
long diff = Math.abs(t1.getTime () - t2.getTime ());
[EDIT] I want the most precise result, so no doubles; only integer/long arithmetic. Also, the result must be positive. Pseudo code:
Timestamp result = abs (t1 - t2);
Examples:
t1 = (time=1001, nanos=1000000), t2 = (time=99...
In oracle, is the named timezone always stored?
I have been testing this column within our system, and in some places the timestamp is shown as:
26-FEB-09 11.36.25.390713 AM +13:00
but other times it's:
26-FEB-09 11.36.25.390713 AM Pacific/Auckland
If the value is being stored as the former, does that mean the actual timezone is n...
I tried strftime( ) to get a formatted time-stamp.
char ft[ 256 ];
struct tm *tmp;
strftime( ft, 256, "%D - %T", tmp );
My problem is that I get "13/02/60 - 03:07:-17958194" as a result. Is there a way to display the seconds properly? (I'm using Mac OS X and gcc)

I want to create my own time stamp data structure in C.

Ok, I fear that this is just me having forgotten some small stupid thing about PHP, but I just can't seem to figure out what is going on here.
Test code:
<?php header('Content-Type: text/plain');
$closingDate = mktime(23, 59, 59, 3, 27, 2009);
function f1()
{
return time() > $closingDate;
}
function f2()
{
return time() <...
In Perl, localtime takes a Unix timestamp and gives back year/month/day/hour/min/sec etc. I'm looking for the opposite of localtime: I have the parts, and I'd like to build a unix timestamp from them.

What is the optimal query to obtain all the records for one specific day?
In my Weather model, 'timestamp' is a standard DateTimeField.
I'm currently using
start = datetime.datetime(2009, 1, 31)
end = start + datetime.timedelta(hours=23, minutes=59, seconds=59)
Weather.objects.filter(timestamp__range=(start, end))
but wonder if there...
I have a timestamp with timezone field in PostgreSQL.
When I update this field, I use something like this:
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
Although the SQL works fine, the date saved seem a little bit different to a classic timestamp with timezone date.
Example:
Default value set to "now()":
date 2009-04-06 14:39:53.662522+02
