The DATETIME type doesn't save a string. It stores it internally as a numeric type, which it autocasts for you. If you want to save it with a particular formatting, you need to use a different type. If I recall, DATETIME fields are a fixed 8-bytes, at least in mySQL5, you are trying to save something much longer.	[reply]
