This probably matters to no one at all, but SQL does not store dates
with forward slashes. SQL datetime formats look like this:
yyyy-dd-mm hh:mm:ss

It mattered to me recently on a project I was working on so I wrote
these two scripts to help me generate a LC version of the mySQL
version of "timestamp":
on timeStamp
put the internet date into tTheDate
convert tTheDate to dateitems
put item 1 of tTheDate into tYear
put item 2 of tTheDate into tMonth
put item 3 of tTheDate into tDay
put item 4 of tTheDate into tHour
put item 5 of tTheDate into tMinute
put item 6 of tTheDate into tSecond
leadingZero tMonth
leadingZero tDay
leadingZero tHour
leadingZero tMinute
leadingZero tSecond
put tYear & "-" & tMonth & "-" & tDay && tHour & ":" & tMinute &
":" & tSecond into tTimeStamp
return tTimeStamp
end timeStamp
on leadingZero @pDateItem
if the length of pDateItem = 1 then
put "0" before pDateItem
end if
end leadingZero
A new date/time format of "database" would be useful for something like this.
