Fractional seconds precision in MySQL datetime data types
I’ve been editing a task description in our worklog:
WL#946 TIME/TIMESTAMP/DATETIME with fractional seconds.
This has been around for a long time, and will be around for a long time. But I did think it’s at least time that we should let people know that we think about it. The specific impetus today was a fairly thorough survey of the feature request’s history in a MySQL DBA’s blog posting Once upon a timestamp(milliseconds)….
In my 2008-05-04 blog posting about the roadmap, I included WL#946 in a list with the heading “Let’s not forget that these will fit in somewhere in the 6.x / 7.x period”. There’s a lot to do — I know that’s not clear from reading a typical bugs.mysql.com feature request, but I hope it’s clear from clicking and reading “High Level Architecture” in WL#946.

Two Words Peter
…. THANK YOU
I’m glad this has been in your roadmap all along, and I’m sure many others appreciate the effort in implementing this feature as much as I do.
Cheers,
Darren
