asked on

currency field in mysql

Can someone suggest what field is best to use and the best way to handle and store and create currencies fields. But there will be various currencies there (USD, JPY, etc.)

Also, is there some special way to handle GMT times?

Thanks!

Would something like this work for price?

PriorOpen` decimal(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''

and how about for the GMT time:

`DateGMT` timestamp(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
sorry, that did not make sense.
