Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Timestamp vs. Date Datatype
Why did Oracle introduce the timestamp datatype vs. enhancing the date
datatype's precision? Is everyone migrating to the timestamp datatype?
Why would anyone want to use the date datatype anymore? It appears to me
that the timestamp does everything that the date datatype does and more.
The granularity and computations that can be performed with the timestamp
datatype appear to be much better. Thanks
