What about a seperate forum for Date/Time issues?

  • Since the start of the IT industry in the early 1950s, I would guess there have been several man-centuries spent resolving date/time problems.

    Being an SQL novice, I have found some brilliant bits of code in the various forums that have reduced my amaturish 30 lines of code to one line too many times to admit! Quit often a solution for one problem is discovered while researching a totally unrelated problem.

    It would be great if all date/time functions and related issues where posted on one forum.

  • Seconded

     

  • We'll look at this and see. We get lots of misfiled posts as it is, so I'm not sure it will help. Have you tried searching for your specific issue?

  • I would recommend that anyone who works with DATETIME read:

    A) Tibor Karaszi's article on the subject:

    http://www.karaszi.com/SQLServer/info_datetime.asp

    and

    B) Rick Snodgrass' book on tempoaral SQL, which can be downloaded in PDF format from this web page:

  • To add to Adam:

    Almost each possible question on this topic has already been answered before with an at least effective answer. A simple search in the Google archives (or other resources) with smart search criteria will give tons of informations back.
