Be careful about assigning ``short'' @code{TIME} values to a @code{TIME}
column. Without semicolon, MySQL interprets values using the 
column. Without colons, MySQL interprets values using the 
assumption that the rightmost digits represent seconds. (MySQL 
interprets @code{TIME} values as elapsed time rather than as time of 
day.) For example, you might think of @code{'1112'} and @code{1112} as 
meaning @code{'11:12:00'} (12 minutes after 11 o'clock), but
MySQL interprets them as @code{'00:11:12'} (11 minutes, 12 seconds).
Similarly, @code{'12'} and @code{12} are interpreted as @code{'00:00:12'}.
@code{TIME} values with semicolon, instead, are always treated as
@code{TIME} values with colons, by contrast, are always treated as
time of the day. That is @code{'11:12'} will mean @code{'11:12:00'},
not @code{'00:11:12'}.
