​You don't need to store 25:20 in the database though - your app can use a window that treats a day as "from 5 am today until 5 am tomorrow" and adds 24:00 to the times for tomorrow.​

    In Dublin (I was there 2001 to 2004), Time tables show buses just
    after midnight, such as 1:20am as running at the time 2520 - so
    there are visible close to the end of the day.  If you are looking
    for buses around midnight this is very user friendly - better than
    looking at the other end of the time table for 0120.

    I think logically that 24:00:00 is exactly one day later than
    00:00:00 - but I see from following the URL, that there are other
    complications...


    Cheers,

Sorry, I did not mean to imply that the data base should store values 24:00:00 and greater!

For something like a time table, values like "24:00" and "25:20" should be generated by software where (and if) appropriate.


Cheers,
Gavin
