In the video, I explained the key differences between the "datetime" and "timestamp" data types commonly used in databases. Datetime stores both date and time, covering a vast range, while timestamp stores elapsed seconds since 1970 as an integer, with a limited date range. Datetime is ideal for user-specific and time zone-sensitive data, offering native date functions, whereas timestamp is efficient for recording system time events due to its lightweight nature. Consider the specific use case to choose the appropriate data type.
