Question

Here’s my table right now (using mysql):

SQL Table: koko_table
  name varchar(140)
  status varchar(140)
  time TIMESTAMP

My issue basically is , I have a form (using php) which user uses to store data only in the status column, my time column captures the time as a permanent data when the user stores in the status column. I think I have not been using accurate DATATYPE for time column, because everytime I visit my database, the time column has different values.

What can be the correct datatype to store time of status input by the user as un-changeable data.

Answer 1

The best data type would be DATETIME.
