<p>Is there any way to get the time down to the Millisecond in MySQL?</p>

MySQL doesn't support milliseconds in any of the time / date columns, or return it in
```
NOW()
```
so unfortunately, no.
If you have a string in a date / time + microseconds format you can use
```
SELECT MICROSECOND('1997-12-31 23:59:59.000010');
```
to extract the microseconds.
