Re: PSC recommends what date format yr 2000???
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1997
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 10633
interpreted = N
texte = >Just realized in doing some date work, were I want to sort on the year,>then the month, and then the day. Put in some test data as year 2001>Duh...I assume we should all be considering using the %Y vs the %y with the>year 2000 coming up. Sorting on 99 vs 00 is gonna drive me crazy in 3>years as to which is higher, vs sorting on 1999 vs 2000. Just thought I>would throw this out to people on this list to consider. Comments anybody.Yes, everyone would be well-advised to use %Y instead of %y for their'year' format choice in storing dates. This will help you to avoid the'year 2000' date problem many legacy database systems will have to dealwith in a couple of years. No sense in creating future problems foryourself just to save a few bytes in your database records, especiallywhen WebCat2 is so fast anyways ... right? :)Sincerely,Ken------------------------------------To leave this talk list send an email to macjordomo@smithmicro.comwith BODYunsubscribe WebDNA-Talk------------------------------------
