# TIMESTAMP\_NTZ
<a name="Datetime_types-TIMESTAMP_NTZ"></a>

Use the TIMESTAMP\_NTZ data type to store complete timestamp values that include the date, the time of day, without the local time zone. 

TIMESTAMP represents values comprising values of fields `year`, `month`, `day`, `hour`, `minute`, and `second`. All operations are performed without taking any time zone into account.

TIMESTAMP in Spark is a user-specified alias associated with one of the TIMESTAMP\_LTZ and TIMESTAMP\_NTZ variations. You can set the default timestamp type as TIMESTAMP\_LTZ (default value) or TIMESTAMP\_NTZ via the configuration `spark.sql.timestampType`.
