How to store Birthdate and Age so that Age can be updated daily in PHP/MySQL?

Question

How should I store Birthdate\'s in MySQL so that I can easily update everyone\'s Age on a daily basis via a Cron Job?

Answer 1

No, don't store age, just calculate it in your queries. As for the birthday, I prefer to have all my date/time in unix timestamps (because I hate to deal with portability across date-format-changing locale settings)
