I have another question, Whats the best way to get the time to use for a time stamp field in a database insert? request.utcnow? I would like to do time comparisons between when a record was inserted into a database and the present time, so would request.utcnow suffice? and if it would, how do I get the time elapsed value? between the 2 values? thanks
