What is the purpose of using the TIMESTAMP data type?

 A TIMESTAMP data type is used to store the combination of date and time value which is 19 characters long.

The format of TIMESTAMP is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM: SS. It can store data from ‘1970-01-01 00:00:01’ UTC to ‘2038-01-19 03:14:07’ UTC. By default, the current date and time of the server get inserted in the field of this data type when a new record is inserted or updated.
