We had a similar problem when the resolution of time from Firebird was
increased from milliseconds to microseconds. A lot of code that was
expecting no sub second time started breaking because of the extra
detail. The fix was 'CURRENT_TIME [(precision)]' but a compromise on
defaults results in CURRENT_TIMESTAMP != CURRENT_DATE + CURRENT_TIME
unless you actually set precision of both to match.

On PHP it was actually less of a problem because the data returned has
to be converted into a string and ibase.timestampformat filtered the
fractional part anyway, and even the seconds can be trimmed if
appropriate, so a 'default' string format would solve the problem of
comparing time data from different sources?
