According to the documentation TIMESTAMP doesn't take a precision or display width spec at all and SHOW CREATE TABLE doesn't show one either so the value seems to be ignored silently. There should at least be a warning instead.

To get the date formatted as "20050302" use the DATE_FORMAT function.
Ex:
mysql> SELECT DATE_FORMAT('2005-03-02 22:23:00', '%Y%m%d');
+----------------------------------------------+
| DATE_FORMAT('2005-03-02 22:23:00', '%Y%m%d') |
+----------------------------------------------+
| 20050302 |
+----------------------------------------------+

Added printout of warnings if TIMESTAMP is used with length, ex TIMESTAMP(6) produces warning "Warning 1287 'TIMESTAMP(6)' is deprecated; use 'TIMESTAMP' instead " Pushed to 5.0.9

Noted in 5.0.9 changelog.

Description: If we create a table with timestamp datatype and display size as (8), And if we try to insert the values it displays column information in following format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" which is incorrect according to the defined display size. How to repeat: Repro Steps 1. Use the database 'test' i.e. execute the following SQL statement: use test// 2. Create a table 't1' ie execute the following SQL statement: create table t1 (f1 int, f2 timestamp(8))// 3. Insert the values in table t1 ie execute the following SQl statement: Insert into t1 values (1,20050302213030)// 4. Select the values of table 't1' ie execute the following SQl statement: Select * from t1// 5. Observe that following value is displayed: +------+---------------------+ | f1 | f2 | +------+---------------------+ | 1 | 2005-03-02 21:30:30 | +------+---------------------+ Expected Result: The 'select' statement should display the value as: +------+---------------------+ | f1 | f2 | +------+---------------------+ | 1 | 20050302 | +------+---------------------+ Actual Result : The 'Select' statement displays the output as follows: +------+---------------------+ | f1 | f2 | +------+---------------------+ | 1 | 2005-03-02 21:30:30 | +------+---------------------+
