I have seen the TIMESTAMP column type in SQL and I’d like to use it. But how do 
you put a value into it. The following SQL code does not work:

$timeStamp_t:=String(Current date;ISO Date GMT;Current time)

INSERT INTO TheTable (TheTimeStamp) VALUES (:$timeStamp_t)

What is is the magic to put a 4D time stamp text var into a SQL TIMESTAMP 
column?
