As we know that the default format for MySQL DATE data type is “YYYY-MM-DD” and in this format, there is no possibility to store the time value. But still, if we store date along with time value in a column having DATE data type then MySQL will show a warning and store only the date value in that column. Following example will exhibit it −
Example
mysql> Create table date_time_test(date DATE); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.44 sec) mysql> Insert into date_time_test(date) values(‘2017-09-09 09:34:21’); Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.03 sec) mysql> Select * from date_time_test; +------------+ | date | +------------+ | 2017-09-09 | +------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
As we can see in the above example MySQL returns only date value even on storing time along with the date.
