DATETIME and TIMESTAMP are data types in databases such as MySQL. The main difference between them lies in how they interact with time zones and how they store data.
DATETIME:
Stores date and time without considering the time zone.
Does not account for changes in the database's time zone.
Used when you need to save a specific moment in time without influencing the time zone.
TIMESTAMP:
Stores date and time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Automatically converts relative to the database's time zone upon storage and retrieval.
Used to store dates and times that can be compared and analyzed independently of time zones.
