Creating DATETIME from DATE and TIME

Question

Is there way in MySQL to create DATETIME from a given attribute of type DATE and a given attribute of type TIME?

Answer 1

select timestamp('2003-12-31 12:00:00','12:00:00'); 

works, when the string is formatted correctly. Otherwise, you can just include the time using str_to_date.

select str_to_date('12/31/2003 14:59','%m/%d/%Y %H:%i');
