i have a table where i want to track time so a valid entry might be:

  • 1 hour 3 mins
  • 47 mins
  • 10 hours
  • 3 mins 14 seconds

what field type is best used for this. i obviously could use varchar . .but i thought there might be something better as i would like to run queries to total the amount of time over a number of records.
