No. With MySQL, you will have to invent your own system for this, such as 
storing the fractional seconds in a separate integer column.

milliseconds in mySQL
Mon, 18 Feb 2008 22:27:32 +010
Hi, I'm using mySQL version 5.0.45.
Is it possible to store the time in milliseconds format?
I've tried with TIMESTAP and DATETIME column types, it doesn't work. 
With TIME column type I can put value up to microsecond - etc. 
14:02:01.199999 but when i refresh the table data everything after 
decimal point is gone, result is 14:02:01
I've also tried mySQL version 5.1, same thing.

Well it's not handy for me to store data like that because i have to do 
some summation/substraction with those values.. But thank you very much
