    Chapter 1:  General Information 11 The TIMESTAMP type, which is used to store the current time, has a range up to only 2030- 01-01.   TIMESTAMP  has  a  range  of  1970  to  2030  on  32-bit  machines  (signed  value).   On 64-bit machines it handles times up to 2106 (unsigned value). Even though MySQL Server is Y2K-compliant, it is your responsibility to provide unambigu- ous input.  See Section 6.2.2.1 [Y2K issues], page 395 for MySQL Server's rules for dealing with ambiguous date input data (data containing 2-digit year values). 1.3  What Is MySQL AB?
