title: mysql datetime field
body: <p>I'm parsing a feed that contains a "created at" entry, formatted like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Thu, 08 Oct 2009 23:01:33 +0000
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to be able to store this in a MySQL table, in a DateTime datatype. Then, I want to  select rows <code>WHERE</code> datetime clause equals or in range between dates and/or times.</p>
  
  <p>I have two questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Will this string be acceptable as a MySQL DateTime datatype?</li>
  <li>If yes, which query should I construct to get results from and between dates or hours?</li>
  </ol>
