Databases typically make heavy use of a datatype called a Timestamp

and fractional seconds (which could be hundredths, thousandths,
millionths or even billionths of a second) and a timezone. That
effectively bonds all of them together as a single big, complicated
number.

I used to write software on COBOL, which doesn't have a "Timestamp" data type.
It sure made hand-crafting time calculations a PitA.
