Ah, the joys of database design. I wonder if they'll have a column for 'Loan Shark Intimidation Level' too. Gotta keep those interest rates high, am I right?

This is a tricky one, but I'm going to go with TIMESTAMP. It's a standard date and time data type, and you can always use DATEDIFF() or something similar to calculate the number of days. Simple and effective!

Wait, what about INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH? Isn't that designed for handling time periods like loan durations? I'm pretty sure that's the intended solution here.

I see both points, but I would go with E) INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND as it seems to meet all three requirements for the column in the banking application.

I disagree, I believe the correct answer is E) INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND as it can store the loan period and calculate interest based on days.

But TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE can store date arithmetic and support calculations for interest too.

Hmm, TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE seems like the obvious choice here. It can store the date and time with timezone information, and you can do date arithmetic on it. Easy peasy!

I think INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND is the way to go. It can handle the date arithmetic and the loan period up to 10 years without any conversion functions. This is a no-brainer!

I think TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIMEZONE would be the most efficient choice for this scenario. It's specifically designed for local time zones.

I see your point, but TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE might be even better for handling time zone differences in a banking application.
