MYSQL date fields with VARCHAR to store what are the benefits?
Is I too low? I will only use the DATE or DATETIME to DATE information storage time,
Never used a VARCHAR, today I saw a commercial software with VARCHAR date fields to store time,

CodePudding user response:

Never think to store date string what benefits, types of data from the data standardization and integrity, date type is better than that of type string, if don't want to say what good, is probably the most developers like to use it,

CodePudding user response:

In principle, no benefits, specifications, data storage format is not standard, the subsequent will have a lot of questions,
