You could use a numeric type if that's what you want - you'll want to
check the size but something like numeric(12,3) should do the job. Be
aware that numerics are much slower than int's though.
If you want separate access to the seconds/microsecs parts then you'll
need your define your own type - other people have done so, but you'll
need some knowledge of C.
