Part 1)

Comparing Date data types, related functions, and usage across MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server involves
understanding their differences and similarities.

Date Data Types:

1. MySQL:

 DATE: Stores date values in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

 DATETIME: Stores date and time values in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'.

 TIMESTAMP: Stores date and time values in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'. It
automatically converts the timestamp to UTC when stored and converts it back to the
session's time zone when retrieved.

2. Oracle:

 DATE: Stores date and time values in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' or 'YYYY-
MM-DD'.

 TIMESTAMP: Supports fractional seconds. Formats vary but usually 'YYYY-MM-DD


HH:MM:SS.FF'.

 TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE and TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE: Store date
and time values with time zone information.

3. SQL Server:

 DATE: Stores date values in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

 DATETIME: Stores date and time values with fractional seconds to milliseconds. Formats
vary but usually 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.FFF'.

 SMALLDATETIME: Similar to DATETIME but with a smaller range and precision.

 DATETIME2: Supports fractional seconds with a higher range than DATETIME.

 DATETIMEOFFSET: Stores date and time values along with time zone offset information.
Date Functions:

1. Common Functions:

 CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP: Retrieve current date, time,


or both.

 DATEADD, DATEDIFF, DATEPART: Add or subtract intervals, calculate differences, or


extract parts of dates.

 TO_DATE, TO_CHAR, TO_TIMESTAMP: Convert strings to dates, dates to strings, or


strings to timestamps.

2. MySQL:

 Functions like DATE_FORMAT, DATE_ADD, DATE_SUB, etc., are commonly used.

3. Oracle:

 Functions like ADD_MONTHS, MONTHS_BETWEEN, TO_DATE, TO_CHAR, etc., are


widely used.

4. SQL Server:

 Functions like DATEADD, DATEDIFF, DATEPART, CONVERT, etc., are commonly used.

Usage in Queries:

1. MySQL:

 Commonly used date functions can be applied directly in queries. Syntax may vary
slightly from other databases.

2. Oracle:

 Date functions are integral to SQL queries and can be used for filtering, sorting, and
formatting dates.

3. SQL Server:

 Date functions are frequently used in SQL queries for various operations like date
arithmetic, date conversion, and date formatting.
