Some third party stuff, DBSurfer is one, can't handle timestamp. If you
don't need that much specificity, I wouldn't use it.
Just my $.02,

Subject: Timestamp - to be or not to be?
Hi,
Are there any technical reasons not to go forth with timestamp instead of
date datatype? Are there any gotcha's by converting to timestamp?
If an application doesn't use fractions of a second is there any real need
to use timestamp datatype?
Thanks,
Mark
