SQL provides the functions CEILING and FLOOR to round numerical values. (Popular vendor specific functions are TRUNC (Informix, DB2, PostgreSQL, Oracle and MySQL) and ROUND (Informix, SQLite, Sybase, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Mimer SQL.)) Temporal (datetime) DATE: for date values (e.g. 2011-05-03). TIME: for time values (e.g ...
Popular implementations of SQL commonly omit support for basic features of Standard SQL, such as the DATE or TIME data types. The most obvious such examples, and incidentally the most popular commercial and proprietary SQL DBMSs, are Oracle (whose DATE behaves as DATETIME , [ 24 ] [ 25 ] and lacks a TIME type) [ 26 ] and MS SQL Server (before ...
ISO 8601 is an international standard covering the worldwide exchange and communication of date and time-related data.It is maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and was first published in 1988, with updates in 1991, 2000, 2004, and 2019, and an amendment in 2022.

All examples use example date 2021-03-31 / 2021 March 31 / 31 March 2021 / March 31, 2021 – except where a single-digit day is illustrated. Basic components of a calendar date for the most common calendar systems: D – day; M – month; Y – year; Specific formats for the basic components: yy – two-digit year, e.g. 24; yyyy – four-digit ...
A time dimension with a grain of seconds in a day will only have 86400 rows. A more or less detailed grain for date/time dimensions can be chosen depending on needs. As examples, date dimensions can be accurate to year, quarter, month or day and time dimensions can be accurate to hours, minutes or seconds.
A distinction is sometimes made between the terms datestamp, timestamp and date-timestamp: Datestamp or DS : A date, for example 2024-12-29 according to ISO 8601 Timestamp or TS : A time of day, for example 04:04:29 using 24-hour clock
With the development of SQL and its attendant use in real-life applications, database users realized that when they added date columns to key fields, some issues arose. For example, if a table has a primary key and some attributes, adding a date to the primary key to track historical changes can lead to creation of more rows than intended.
