v.25.7Improvement

Possibility to parse Time and Time64 as

Possibility to parse Time and Time64 as MM:SS, M:SS, SS, or S. #83299 (Yarik Briukhovetskyi).
Added support for parsing Time and Time64 data types from strings formatted as MM:SS, M:SS, SS, or S.

Why it matters

This feature allows users to input and parse time values without specifying hours, enabling easier handling of durations represented only in minutes and seconds or just seconds. It improves flexibility in time data processing by supporting shorter time string formats.

How to use it

Users can now directly parse strings representing time using the formats MM:SS, M:SS, SS, or S when inserting or converting data to Time or Time64 types. No additional settings are required; the parser automatically recognizes these formats.
