Be careful about assigning ``short'' @code{TIME} values to a @code{TIME}
column. @strong{MySQL} interprets values using the assumption that the
rightmost digits represent seconds. (@strong{MySQL} interprets @code{TIME}
values as elapsed time rather than as time of day.) For example, you might
think of @code{'11:12'}, @code{'1112'}, and @code{1112} as meaning
@code{'11:12:00'} (12 minutes after 11 o'clock), but @strong{MySQL}
interprets them as @code{'00:11:12'} (11 minutes, 12 seconds). Similarly,
