How to make a mysql table with date and time columns?

Question

I am trying to create a table that has date and time columns used to store the date and time information when the entry is recorded in the database. In the MySQL documentati

Answer 1

CREATE TABLE t1 (
  ts TIME,
  dt DATE
);

Only a timestamp field can have DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. It contains both a date and time. TIME and DATE fields will need to be set by your application.

Answer 2

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 (
   id INT,
  ts TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
);

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
