Delphi does not use *nix timestamps. In other apps I have converted to *nix before storing in MySql and reversing that when retrieving.
Now I would like to try using DB aware components for the first time. How will it work for tiemstamps? Should I (can I) store in Delphi tiemstamp format? Or shoudl I convert to *nix before storing?
For normal use your do not need to do anything.
I had used Delphi / MySQL for many year and all data access components I had used (dbexpress / zeros / MyDAC) do the conversion automatically. In case I need to manually specify the timestamp value, I just provide the text format (“yyyy/mm/dd hh:nn:ss”)
