Why there is no datatype which only stores date (without time part)

User_F2HJQSep 24 2012 — edited Sep 26 2012
Hi All,

Is there any specific reason for not having a data type which only stores date (without time part) in ORACLE - I am asking this because DATE (without time) is a very frequently used data type in any application.

Thanks.
