ANSI/ISO 1999 Standard wrote:
There are three classes of datetime data types defined within this part of ISO/IEC 9075:
-- DATE -- contains the <primary datetime field>s YEAR, MONTH, and DAY.
-- TIME -- contains the <primary datetime field>s HOUR, MINUTE, and SECOND.
-- TIMESTAMP -- contains the <primary datetime field>s YEAR, MONTH,
DAY, HOUR,
MINUTE, and SECOND.
(I do not have SQL-92 standard. But, I think they are basically same as SQL-99 about timestamp data type.)  

I think Oracle's date and timestamp and DB2's date, time and timestamp conform to this standard. Received on Fri Jan 17 2003 - 23:56:03 CET
