There is no point in having separate columns for Date and Time. It does not make much sense

You can create the table like this

CREATE TABLE timeDate (

And if you want the Date part use this query

SELECT DATE(`ts`) FROM timedate WHERE id =someId

And if you want the Time part use this query

SELECT TIME(`ts`) FROM timedate WHERE id =someId
