TEMPORAL DATA TYPES IN MySQL

MySQL is an open source comparative database management system based on Structured Query Language (SQL). It is mostly used in web application and online publishing although it can also be used in other applications. Any business that needs to use MySQL has to acquire a commercial license from its owner; Oracle. However, developers can use it under the GNU General Public License (GPL), (Vicknair, Wilkins & Chen, 2012).
