Not directly related, I think, but it does remind me that I
should pay some attention to mysql.

My interest is in the fractions of seconds in times and
timestamps, an interest provoked by bug 34309 "Error on
importing a timestamp field from db2 via ODBC"
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34309>.
However, it looks like mysql stopped supporting fractions of
seconds with version 4.1, released in October, 2004.  Does
anybody care at all about the behaviour of versions that
old?  If anybody does care, how would I know?

Thanks,
Terry.
