felttype til datoer fra linket:

DATE
A date. The supported range is '1000-01-01' to '9999-12-31'. MySQL displays DATE values in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format, but allows you to assign values to DATE columns using either strings or numbers. See section 6.2.2.2 The DATETIME, DATE, and TIMESTAMP Types.
DATETIME
A date and time combination. The supported range is '1000-01-01 00:00:00' to '9999-12-31 23:59:59'. MySQL displays DATETIME values in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' format, but allows you to assign values to DATETIME columns using either strings or numbers. See section 6.2.2.2 The DATETIME, DATE, and TIMESTAMP Types.
TIMESTAMP[(M)]
A timestamp. The range is '1970-01-01 00:00:00' to sometime in the year 2037. In MySQL 4.0 and earlier, TIMESTAMP values are displayed in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, YYMMDDHHMMSS, YYYYMMDD, or YYMMDD format, depending on whether M is 14 (or missing), 12, 8, or 6, but allows you to assign values to TIMESTAMP columns using either strings or numbers. From MySQL 4.1, TIMESTAMP is returned as string with the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:DD'. If you want to have this as a number you should add +0 to the timestamp column. Different timestamp lengths are not supported. From version 4.0.12, the --new option can be used to make the server behave as in version 4.1. A TIMESTAMP column is useful for recording the date and time of an INSERT or UPDATE operation because it is automatically set to the date and time of the most recent operation if you don't give it a value yourself. You can also set it to the current date and time by assigning it a NULL value. See section 6.2.2 Date and Time Types. The M argument affects only how a TIMESTAMP column is displayed; its values always are stored using 4 bytes each. Note that TIMESTAMP(M) columns where M is 8 or 14 are reported to be numbers while other TIMESTAMP(M) columns are reported to be strings. This is just to ensure that one can reliably dump and restore the table with these types! See section 6.2.2.2 The DATETIME, DATE, and TIMESTAMP Types.
TIME
A time. The range is '-838:59:59' to '838:59:59'. MySQL displays TIME values in 'HH:MM:SS' format, but allows you to assign values to TIME columns using either strings or numbers. See section 6.2.2.3 The TIME Type.
YEAR[(2|4)]
A year in 2- or 4-digit format (default is 4-digit). The allowable values are 1901 to 2155, 0000 in the 4-digit year format, and 1970-2069 if you use the 2-digit format (70-69). MySQL displays YEAR values in YYYY format, but allows you to assign values to YEAR columns using either strings or numbers. (The YEAR type is unavailable prior to MySQL Version 3.22.) See section 6.2.2.4 The YEAR Type.
