Seeing as Oracle hit RC status as of September, I was wondering if we’ll be able to rely on Ignition using the added support for fractional seconds when passing a DateTime field.

[dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/ … conds.html](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/fractional-seconds.html)

This will be key if Ignition is going to be used to log SOE for processes.

I don’t see why not. We will probably have to update the JDBC driver but that would be it.
