Time Columns

​

Overview

Time columns are designated to represent either a timestamp or a datetime value associated with an entity and a specific dimension. The suffix _at is used to denote a timestamp, whereas _datetime is used for datetime values. When a time column is localized, it will be explicitly indicated with the suffix _local_datetime to denote the local time context.
