| Is it possible to insert a timestamp into a db if it's in this format? Sep-04-13 07:13I don't need it to stay in this format. I just need to know if I can cast it as a unix timestamp somehow & insert or if the manipulation to the datetime fomrat has to happen before inserting.-SergioI use Microsoft SQL 2008 |

Woot! Thanks. I keep finding results on Google about how to query the db & convert. I was starting to lose hope-SergioI use Microsoft SQL 2008 |

its best to use the ISO date format strings - everything else has a chance of confusion cross locales or languagesformats are: YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.msmsZTransact CharlieMsg 3903.. The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION. http://nosqlsolution.blogspot.co.uk/ |
