Description:
Microseconds precision is not retained by TIME, DATETIME, and TIMESTAMP field types. 

mysql> CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE TEST ( T1 TIME, T2 TIMESTAMP );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO TEST ( T1, T2 ) VALUES ( '12:13:14.000015', '2005-02-16 12:13:14.000015' );
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM TEST;
+----------+---------------------+
| T1       | T2                  |
+----------+---------------------+
| 12:13:14 | 2005-02-16 12:13:14 |
+----------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT MICROSECOND(T1), MICROSECOND(T2) FROM TEST;
+-----------------+-----------------+
| MICROSECOND(T1) | MICROSECOND(T2) |
+-----------------+-----------------+
|               0 |               0 |
+-----------------+-----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

How to repeat:
See above script. 

Suggested fix:
No specific fix recommendation.

I'd also like to see this fixed.  The date functions support microseconds, bow useful are they if there's no way to *store* a date value with microseconds.

I am using 4.1.10 and I also would like to see this work:

mysql> select now(), DATE_FORMAT( now(), '%H:%i:%S.%f' );
+---------------------+-------------------------------------+
| now()               | DATE_FORMAT( now(), '%H:%i:%S.%f' ) |
+---------------------+-------------------------------------+
| 2005-06-22 15:38:59 | 15:38:59.000000                     |
+---------------------+-------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I think so, too. 
As Mysql usage grows, milli-sec and micro-sec become more needed.
For example, 
- recording passage of vast amounts of RFID.
- forensic. I mean andit log of database access for security.
and so on. 
Would you please tell us what this request's priority is for you(mysql), and when we can get it.

I'd like to see this fixed as I'm trying to set up an auditing database by just dumping the old records into a history table before updating.  The easiest way to do this is to key the history table the same as the regular table but add a key based on time. However, with precision only to the second, only 1 change per second is allowed using this strategy.

Hi,
I'm trying to make a sport results applicattion with mysql in my website. All my website is in MySQL, but now I've found the limitation of the TIME data type: it can't retain fractions of seconds. It's a really strange thing that MS SQL server or  a non commercial database like PostgreSQL have fractions of seconds precision and MySQL doesn't. Now I'm considering switching to PostgreSQL.
I hope that developers try to solve it in some way.
Thanks

TIME, TIMESTAMP, and DATETIME do not support parts of seconds (for example          from DATE_FORMAT()). The simplest way to solve this task is to make a small UDF.

That's all.

I ran into this today too; when I round-trip a timestamp from java to mysql, it comes back with the miliseconds chopped off ... now I know why.

A limitation that I would love to see addressed...

Here is another vote for a fix

Yet another vote to fix this please!!!
Integer seconds just isn't good enough for many applications, particularly in the sciences.  Many of my tables now include a datetime column and a float fractional_second column - but it's an ugly & expensive kludge.

Another suggestion would be conversions to & from astronomical julian dates - but that's pretty niche.

Thanks

Bug #27838 was marked as a duplicate of this one.

Thought of using log4j JDBC with MySQL. However the fact that milliseconds are not stored makes it difficult to perform useful reports on the log entries to a MySQL database as so many entries come in within a second.

Is this bug dead? Does it take more than two years to fix this? When is the planned rollout of this?

Andrew

I would like to have this bug fix too.  The log files I want to store have time stamps that contain microseconds, and this information is silently deleted on insertion!

if you couldn'yt fix this bug in 2 yrs then i think i should switch back to MSSql

Speaking as someone who's storing musical information in a database, it would be REALLY nice to have timing at the microsecond level available.

Another vote for this bug to be fixed.  
I'm currently using timestamp to determine which fields need to be updated for php/ajax applications, and the dropping of the microseconds creates a possible race condition during the client update.

Right now, I'm switching back to MS SQL because I really need microseconds in the timestamp.

But hopefully this will be fixed in a future version and if possible, I would like to give MySql another try.

Microsecond precision has been pushed into 5.1 tree.

It should be available in 5.1.21.

Thanks for your answer.  It is indeed good news for me.

The patch that has been committed is for microseconds in the slow query log. (Not for all TIMESTAMP, TIME, and DATETIME types).

I've confirmed that this will be included in 5.1.22.

Hi, I'm not sure I understand.

Is it the "patch that has been committed is for microseconds in the slow query
log" that will be available in 1.5.22 or the possibilité to store microseconds in the TIMESTAMP, TIME, and DATETIME data types?

Thanks again for your feedback.

Hi Jean-Guy,

I'm sorry for the confusion.  The patch that has been submitted is only to include microseconds in the slow query log.

It will not include microseconds for TIMESTAMP, TIME, and DATETIME types yet.

Hi Chris,

Thanks again for the quick answer.

Is it possible for you to give us an approximate idea of the timeline for fixing the Timestamp problem?

I can live for some time without microseconds in the Timestamp, but I know that eventually I will need those microseconds.

I can imagine that this problem isn't an easy thing to solve, so maybe you don't know when or have no immediate plans concerning this issue.

Bug #30893 was marked as duplicate of this one.

Bump. Still using seconds since the epoch plus microseconds in an integer field as a workaround.

Thanks for the UDF NOW_MSEC() to unknown author.

And when would be realized the full support of milliseconds?

and, forgot, I'm pack it UDF into RPM for Fedora (~8). Rpms (both, binaries and src.rpm) placed in my yum repository: http://hubbitus.org.ru/rpm/MySQL-UDF-now_msec/

I'm logging processes start and end time.
I need the millis because when I sort them I got them in the wrong order if their times
differ only in the millis field.
Please provide this feature in the future.

bodri bodri, UDF NOW_MSEC() as present before working perfectly for this purpose. If you are logging more faster, and need even more precision for example microseconds instead milliseconds?? I'm made UDF NOW_MICTOSECOND by example NOW_MSEC of Wadimoff <wadimoff@yahoo.com>

It is placed here (binaries and sources) http://hubbitus.net.ru/rpm/Fedora7/MySQL-UDF-now_microsec/
I hope was helpful.

I really would love to see this bug fixed as well, I am a relativley basic user, and uploading a UDF is way out of my league.

Nathan Atkinson, I'm not a developer of mysql, but installing UDF is much easier than it might seems. Only 4 steeps, as wrote Wadimoff in comment befor, or much easier if you using Fedora - just install my binary packages - this is 1 command (but, you will need root privileges in any case)!

Another vote for this bug to fixed. Microseconds would be ideal but milliseconds are a must.

Milliseconds are really useful. Please fix this bug as early as possible.

Yet another vote! please fix this bug

Why UDF is not suitable? Performance issue or why???

Do the UDF solutions referenced above simply allow NOW to be invoked with milli or micro second precision, or do they allow storage at that level of detail?

>Do the UDF solutions referenced above simply allow NOW to be invoked with milli
>or micro second precision
No. But it is not needed, IMHO. So, if required this precision you may use additional functions with (or instead of) NOW. By default they precision is overhead and also will work slowly.

>or do they allow storage at that level of detail?
I don't understand this question. Why you can't store any value from any function anywhere?
If you talk about store datetime value in one field with that precision, yes, it is not allowed now in default types, but may be easy emulated (f.e. in text representation)

Pavel,

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying in terms of it not being needed - it's certainly needed for a LOT of applications that I can think of. In my particular case, PLCs that need to log a LOT of data with very precise time/dates.

Wouldn't storing this level time data in a text field be very expensive to sort/index/search on as opposed to a dedicated time field (datetime or similar)? I guess my concern with inserting datetime into a text field is that the selects to recall the data are going to kill my performance.

Ben Wern,

I'm say what not needing change NOW to get this precision, not provide this possibility at all.
NOW used ubiquitously, and many places microseconds not needed. So, adding it only cause old applications to work slowly.

About performance of string representation - I do not make any tests or benchmarks. But, I guess what it is not be very slow. In any case, if this overhead do not acceptable, you may use any other representation such us addition integer field for microseconds and use them in operations together with datetime.

My workaround, instead of text date, is to use an int(14) and populating it with a custom integer timestamp: ( unix timestamp with microseconds ) * 10000

Indexing and arithmetic are efficient.  As long as we remember the factor of 10000 when coding, it works just fine.

This is a compromise with trade offs.  I can't seem to get anything in the Windows build of 5.0.51b (upgrading is not an option) to yield fractional seconds from the system clock, so the custom timestamp has to be generated outside of the database.  In this case, the application server generating the timestamp is on a different machine.

So, since I can't use the db server's clock as authoritative, conflicts will eventually arise when the application servers' and the db server's clocks diverge.

To add another view:

We are using MySQL and other DBs (e.g. Oracle) with Hibernate with the same application. It was quite a surprise to learn that MySQL does not support milliseconds - this is pretty much a knock-out criterion for MySQL with some of our applications, e.g. for log keeping applications or configuration change tracking application. 

We have applied workarounds like extra floating point columns for some software, but this is not possible in a clean way when you use Hibernate to abstract from the DB. Also patching the MySQL code would destroy some of our customer's acceptance for MySQL - most insist on Oracle anyway and it is hard to persuade them to go for something else. 

Although MySQL is otherwise a great product, things like this will not make it easier for commercial acceptance of MySQL, especially in large industrial applications. I can understand that changing the datatype implementation in a software like MySQL has massive implications, but I'm sure it would be worth it for the future of the product.

I've posted a hacky solution for storing milliseconds with datetime values here.
http://90kts.com/blog/2009/storing-milliseconds-in-mysql/

Hope that helps.

Another vote to see this is fixed.

Do the developers have any timescales for fixing this?
It really is a huge hole in MySQL....

I would like to see this fixed as well in an official release.

Another vote to see this is fixed.

Another vote to see this is fixed.

even in Excel I can fix it with formatting to hh:mm:ss,000

seems to be very hard to be fixed after 3 years.

Another vote here.

If the microsecond value could not be stored easily because of compatibility reasons, etc., it should at least be retrieve-able, so that the users have a choice of storing it.

Another vote here.

If the microsecond value could not be stored easily because of compatibility reasons, etc., it should at least be retrieve-able by a built-in function, so that the users have a choice of storing it.

We need this one fixed ASAP! We can't differentiate transactions happens within a second.

Just a little tip:
If you use Hibernate or som other ORM/Data mapping, just define your own Data Type and you are done... very simple. 
You just store the date in milliseconds in the database and let the Date Type convert it back and forward to a Date object.

Just my thoughts...
Ed

Hi Ed,
do you have any links that further explain your proposal?

+1 for fixing this bug

Lars

Here it is.
Have a look at this:
http://hibernate.org/272.html
Here a user type is created to store/load java Enum data types directly in/from the database.

You can do exactly the same as with the java Data type.

In short:
Write your own Date user type, something like MyDate user type. 
This class extends from implements EnhancedUserType and MyDate will be asked by Hibernate to fill the Date object. You then simple load the millesoncds from the database from some numberic database field and create a new Date object with it. And visa versa... 
Takes you really nothing to implement this and works very well.

Usage: in you hibernate mapping file you define the user type with the typedef tag and give it a name. This name is then used as type attribute in the property tag... 
That's it... isn't that nice ;)

Good luck,
Ed

I'm not the best coder in the world. I have to work the asp.net and mysql. And, I generally love mysql. But, I ran into a issue trying to use DateTime as the base for page updates. I was really shocked to find out the mysql wouldn't store fractional seconds. I find it hard to believe that this issue hasn't be resolved in 5.0. I hope this gets some attention soon.

Hi Ed,

thanks! It was quite hard to implement as I am new to Hibernate and additionally had to switch from xdoclet to annotations.

The complete solution can be found at the Hibernate forums: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?p=2409970#2409970

hth,
Lars

He Lars,

Great to hear that it worked. Always nice to hear to some feedback.

-- Ed

My bully postgres friends made fun of me saying MySQL isn't a real database.  They said, "It doesn't even store miliseconds!".  "Try out DBase or something from the late seventies if I wanted a better database."

I thought surely they were missing something.  There's probably an alternate type that they don't know about.

Sure enough, I find myself logging a queue of events, having to read them back months and decipher which one came first.  I guess I need need to use PostgreSQL?

Seriously, what are you putting into MySQL 6 that's more important than this?  

Sincerely,

Die-hard MySQL fan

Please for pete's sake... FIX this :(

Now that Oracle toke over Sun, it will proabably never be fixed ;)....

I switched to Postgresql. Performs much better without bugs in case you need correct transactions.

-- Ed

Not sure if there is any point adding to this, given the number of comments. Anyway, I am using MySQL to build a peer to peer application, and I want to use date/time as my primary key, as it gives me a simple, growable key space. I need milli/microsecond precision. Really surprised this is not supported.

Yet another vote to have this feature realized

Please fix this soon!!

Come on, guys!  Storing TIMESTAMP isn't that hard!  Please consider doing it like IBM did in DB2, using half-bytes for the components.  That gives you a TIMESTAMP that uses 10 bytes of storage:
Year: 2
Month: 1
Day: 1
Hour: 1
Minute: 1
Second: 1
Sub-second: 3

PLEASE, PLEASE fix this bug!

It (having a native support for fractional secs) would make it easier for others who care for the milli/micro/nano secs precision to easily switch from other DBs like PostgreSQL etc..

Go Oracle Go!!, grab some more customers with the addition of this...

Uhh.. nevermind? This sat so long that I've actually designed MySQL out of the solution to get around it (several long term bugs - or "feature requests" depending on your perspective.)

This ticket is open for 5 years and yet still it's not enough for beloved MySQL team to find a moment to implement feature that has been so wanted.

From this point it seems that it will take another five years to implement and properly test it.

I’ve found a possible work around to this. Page 230, in a book called “High Performance MySQL”, lists a User-Defined Function (UDF) called “NOW_USEC” this UDF creates a string in the same format as MySQL date, but also includes millisecond precision. The UDF is also listed here (along with installation details):

http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2007/10/30/how-i-built-the-now_usec-udf-for-mysql/

I have compiled and linked this UDF to my server and works perfectly. To store the value returned by NOW_USEC() just create a field with data type: varchar(26). I know you’ll have to re-link this UDF every time you upgrade your MySQL server, but it’s the best solution I’ve seen so far.

I would like to have an optional parameter for timestamp (and other datetime, time datatypes) that specifies the precision of the fraction part. By default the fraction part is 0 so existing code does not have to change, but apps that needs second fractions can specify how many from 0 up to 3 or 7 depending on server capability. Example,

col1 timestamp -- no fraction
col1 timestamp(3) -- milliseconds precision

Can MySQL give you the current timestamp accurate to the nearest microsecond?

We are using mysql to log some debug strings into a database, as there may be many entries in one second, we'd need a way to store the datetime in milliseconds ;-)
So millisecond support would be really great..

Related WL https://intranet.mysql.com/worklog/Server-BackLog/?tid=946 updated so request is included in work planned for MySQL 5.6.  GeirH added to notification and will verify feasibility.

So what is the status of this since July? Will fractional timestamps FINALLY be supported in version 5.6?   I have numerous apps that I could convert to use mysql if this were supported, but have been waiting years for you to come in line with all other databases (besides MS Access)

I have many colleagues who have the same complaint as I have - fractional timestamps are not simply a feature request, but an absolute requirement.

Can you please let us know if this is in progress or it's wontfix?

As a way around I am using long instead of datetime everywhere but it would be great CURRENT_TIMESTAMP could return miliseconds.

We can pretty much draw our own conclusions, based on the date that the bug was submitted.  Damn, we missed the 5-year anniversary.  Maybe we should all get together to celebrate the 10-year.  What are you doing on Feb. 15, 2015?

And perhaps we could by some Oracle instances to store milliseconds ?

I would also like to express my interest in seeing this corrected before I "shuffle off this mortal coil".

It makes it really hard to use MySQL for some financial applications since you can't store microsecond precision in the database and then later do comparison on it using date/time functions.  This is especially important when in regards to compliance obligations.

Let me add my voice to the chorus. It's completely silly that you guys don't support this.

This is pretty retarded that I cant get at least a millisecond timestamp. We are coming up on the 6th anniversary of this bug. I call it a bug, not a feature request, because someone apparently implemented the date/time functions to support milliseconds but didnt finish it. wonderful.

Like a previous bug reporter said, "What are you putting into 6 that is more important than this?"

Can you please let us know if you are working on this??

Hoping this issue will be addressed sometime soon. In my case I need to store with great precision when certain trades have took place to know which of those have their risk covered by comparing times.

I vote for this feature too.   At least millisecond accuracy would be great.

I have been following this bug now for about 4 years and communicated about it with the Oracle/Sun teams before.
My Conclusion: it will take at least another 2-4 years before this bug/feature is implemented.
Neither do I understand this but that's how it it...
My action: moved to postgresql... Much better in many interesting aspects that are important for me.

Also want to see this... micro/milliseconds can be important when you're logging events from a web application.

How can this be hard to solve? An 8-byte unsigned field storing the time in microseconds since 1970 solves this AND the end-of-epoch 2037 problem!

2 ^ 62 / ( 1000000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365) =~ 584,000 years 

Heck, make it signed and you can store dates a quarter of a billion years in the past too...

Guessing there's little hope MySQL will ever get more granular datetime. microseconds is critical to our app so like other commenters I switched to postgresql, did a ton of digging into the workarounds and just not worth staying with MySQL on this project.

Can anyone from the dev team comment if this will EVER happen?  Is there something preventing this feature from being implemented, or is it just not a "priority"?

Heck, even SQLite can work with nanoseconds even though it has no native Date/Time data types!!!!

Query:
select strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%f', '2011-01-01 00:00:00.050','+0.5 seconds')

Result:
2011-01-01 00:00:00.550

I wonder why this is considered a feature request.
In my opinion this a bug. 
People expect a timestamp to be the count of milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00.00
and not the count of seconds.

But whatever: +1 for fixing this asap.

I am storing stock market data - its a pretty wide rangeing field. Millisec support is crutial these days. I can believe I just upgraded to this latest version and its still not there!

So any suggestions on another database to use (win 2003 server)?

Thx

Just use Postgres. 
These day's runs very smooth on almost every platform which is nice for testing and feels like a real db.

I switched to Postgres because of this bug and happy ever since (I develop on Windows and test/production/acceptance environment all run on linux.

Hi MySQL,
I just could not believe my integration tests to fail on this one. All time info below second's resolution swallowed silently is an epic fail for a data type called 'timestamp'. Quite a while ago since milliseconds have been invented...
No nanos is one thing but not to provide millis for the data types 'timestamp','time',etc is just a shame.

Best regards
Bastian

Can´t believe it´s still not available. :-O

Also waiting for this "Fix"...

High priority on this please!

Forced to use awkward workarounds for storing milliseconds. Please get this feature into MySQL.

Is there *anything* we can do to get this massive deficiency fixed?  Is it a money issue?  I'd be more than willing to give a monetary donation/bounty specifically to get this fixed.

MariaDB supports microseconds for a few months already.

Please!

Could not figure out why this did not work... then I found this is a longstanding issue. Just wish there was some type of explanation

Noted in 5.6.4 changelog.

MySQL now supports fractional seconds for TIME, DATETIME, and
TIMESTAMP values, with up to microsecond precision.

That is a great accomplishment for MySQL Team! Thank you. This has been a long waited feature.
