it turns out that there is a proposal for broader numerical comparison operators and the author of the proposal is open to including time as something that can be compared. i've suggested starting off simple, allowing comparison of tags for which the value is a simple ISO format date, such as start_date and end_date. the dates would be parsed and normalized into an integer value for comparison. the baseline for the date->integer mapping is open for discussion but as it's a purely internal value, it can be changed if it needs to be.
this seems like a way to get a useful capability quickly. richard -- [email protected] Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search
