Best Method For Inserting Date & Time Into Mysql?
What is the best method for inserting a date and time into MySQL and what type do I make the database field? (eg, timestamp, date etc?)
Basically I want to insert the date & time into the db when I create a new task in my mini to do list app automatically, display it as readable format (17:44 - 17/01/08) on my page and after say an hour, I would like the task item to turn red (how would I approach calculating times).

PHP/MySQL Sorting By Date & Time (using Non Military Time)
This is probably a simple issue but I have searched online and can't find an answer. I am using PHP/MySQL and I guess the most intuitive would be to have three select boxes containing HOUR / MINUTE / AM,PM option. Then store the time into mysql using there functions so I can output the data sorting them all by date and time. All the examples I have seen are for military time only but I'm sure there has got to be a simple mysql function or php function that converts non military to military and a formatting function to display with the AM / PM. But I have not found it.

Is There A 'good Practice' Method For Date Fields?
What I mean is, with using php to insert and pull records from a date type field (called tsdate), should I insert as a unix timestamp or is there some advantage starting with 2006-06-06 and converting later? Just curious. I am dealing with millions of records, indexes are used, load time is good, but I want to (for the future) continually use one method for data records, that's all

Inserting Time As Null
I've really really really confused and really need your help please! I'm having trouble trying to insert data from a form into a mysql db, namely time. If a user only enters data for one day and leaves the other days of the week blank then it automatically defaults to 00:00:00. How do I tell it to default the insert to nothing, so that when I fetch the data and display it in a php echo it will only show the days with info. I hope I've explained that properly? Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way?

Date-time Overlaps Another Time
had a time question in mysql... i have a start and end time for a meeting table and i am comparing whether a new meeting conflicts with another meeting in same room on the same date. i was wondering if i could check whether the 'date-time duration' in anyway overlaps another meetings date-time duration. visualized below... ............|____compareToThisMeeting__| .....|_________meetingNewOverlaps__________| i was doing something dumb before i realized i needed soemthing more complex (checking whether the start time of new meeting was 'BETWEEN' the start and end times of a meeting and whether the end time time is as well but i forgot the duration/middle value hehe). (using asp) and just returning booleans with a mySQL SELECT statement is what i am looking for like... //within a loop in asp for meetings on same date/room "SELECT '"+ year+"-"+month +"-"+day +" " + startHourString +":" + startMinuteString +":00''"+ " BETWEEN '"+ thisMeetingStart +"' AND '"+ thisMeetingEnd +"'"; (this doesnt cover the 'middle' overlap areas though)

ASP Not Displaying Time Stored In Mysql Displaying Date Instead.
I seem to be having a problem displaying time stored in mysql. The format stored in the database is 13:15:05. The database data type is time. I'm using asp vbscript and sql to retrieve the time store in the database. However asp recognizes the data type as date and displays the date instead of the time. If I change the data type in mysql to varchar then asp will display the time correctly, but I cannot do it this way. I want to be able to convert the data type in asp to string from date.

About Date And Time
i have created a table using the following code: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ create table tt(name varchar(10), enddatetime timestamp, startdatetime timestamp, difference timestamps); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ after i have created, i insert the following into it: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ insert into tt values('bob',null,'2006-10-1 12:12:12',null); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ and i want to find the difference between the enddatetime and the startdatetime. so i tried the following: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- select enddatetime,startdatetime, sec_to_time(unix_timestamp(enddatetime)-unix_timestamp(startdatetime)) as difference from tt; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ but the value came out from the difference column was xxxxx:xx:xx *(where x is an integer). as you can see, the year,month,date and the hour are all mix up together(xxxxx). so i was wondering whether my code or my variable was wrong?? and by the way, how can i show the difference in terms of seconds?? like converting the enddatetime and the startdatetime into seconds and substract them together?

Date Time
what I want to do is very simple however it seems I'm having trouble figuring out how :D I got a date_time field in a table. I want to retreive all the records that match yesteday. Something like: select * from table where datetimefield = now() - interval 1 day HOWEVER because it's a date_time field (and I can't split it in 2 fields for other reasons), the above query won't return anything. Seems I could do a select * from table where datetimefield between yesterday at 00:00:01 and yesterday at 23:59:59 but I can't find the functions for that.

SQL Date Time
I've been having trouble trying to figure out the best way to select only the rows with timestamps within the last X amount of hours, days, weeks, months. So I guess my SQL statement in plain english would be: Give me all the rows that have a timestamp between NOW and X days/months ago and count how many times a row was submitted per hour/day/week/month within those rows. I'm pretty sure this is possible but I can't seem to wrap my brain around it.

ORDER BY Date And Time
I am using php to extract variables from a MYSQL database that get loaded into a calendar application. Most everything works great. The only problem occurs when more than one event occurs on the same day. The event date and time are stored as separate variables in the database, thereby making it difficult to ORDER BY date and time. The result is that all of my events appear on the proper day, but they do not appear in chronological order. Is there a way to order by date and time? I currently have the following: Code: $SQL_Query = "SELECT eventID, eventDate, startTime, endTime, title, description, linkName, hyperlink FROM events ORDER BY eventDate";
