# Date and time ZipponDB use 3 different date and time data type. Those are use like any other tpye like `int` or `float`. ## Date Data type `date` represent a single day. To write a date, you use this format: `yyyy/mm/dd`. Like that: `2024/10/19`. ## Time Data type `time` represent a time of the day. To write a time, you use this format: `hh:mm:ss.mmmmm`. Like that: `12:45:00.0000`. Millisecond and second are optional so this work too: `12:45:00` and `12:45` ## Datetime Data type `datetime` mix of both, it use this format: `yyyy/mm/dd-hh:mm:ss.mmmmm`. Like that: `2024/10/19-12:45:00.0000`. Millisecond and second are optional so this work too: `2024/10/19-12:45:00` and `2024/10/19-12:45`
