I'm currently setting up a table to contain user login/logout information. Just wondered what would be more scalable??better to index,etc... Having a 'timestamp' field 'CCYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SS' or two separate fields one for time 'HH:MM:SS.SS' and one for Date 'CCYY-MM-DD'. most queries will be of the form: ------------------------------------------------ select ........ from <table> where username='xxx' and date<'CCYY-MM-DD' and date>'CCYY-MM-DD' ------------------------------------------------ so I was thinking that a separate 'Date only' field would index better.. Any Thoughts?? -- Dale Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED]
