I just looked them up in my data definitions. Dates are _stored_ as type
DATE NOT NULL
Very good ;)
Yes, if the data happen to be stored at all. But when a program
generates the dates dynamically and wants to produce queries from them,
it is easier to use the C++ class to generate the dates.
Yes of course.
Years ago, I made a C++ data type that allowed a date datatype where I
could add, subtract, and so on.
I use it in programs that do not necessarily use a database,
To be honest: I expect the programming language to support those things.
I would love it. For all I know, the C++ Standard Library supports it
now, but I do not believe it did when I wrote that class.
Ah, those "historic" things. I primarily use Java and that had Date support
right from the start.
Well, €0.02 is still more than my US$0.02, I believe.
Nice one :)
