title: Oracle: Difference between DATE and TIMESTAMP(0)
body: <p>What is the difference, if any, between DATE and TIMESTAMP(0) in Oracle? Both data types occupy 6 bytes, and contain date with time, but without fractional seconds and a timezone.</p>
  <p>The TIMESTAMP was added to Oracle about 20 years after DATE to comply with ANSI standard. TIMESTAMP or TIMESTAMP(6) can hold fractions of seconds, so it is different from DATE, but is there any difference between TIMESTAMP(0) and DATE?</p>
