I'm in javascript, running this in the console d = new Date(); d.setMonth(1); d.setFullYear(2009); d.setDate(15); d.toString(); outputs this: "Sun Mar 15 2009 18:05:46 GMT-0400 (EDT)" Why would this be happening? It seems like a browser bug. ...
I need to add 30 minutes to values in a Oracle date column. I do this in my SELECT statement by specifying "to_char(date_and_time + (.000694 * 31)", which works fine most of the time. But not when the time is on the AM/PM border. For example, adding 30 minutes to "12:30" [which is PM] returns "1:00" which is AM. The answer I expect i...

What's the quickest way to convert a date in one format, say 2008-06-01 to a date in another format, say Sun 1st June 2008 The important bit is actually the 'Sun' because depending on the dayname, I may need to fiddle other things around - in a non-deterministic fashion. I'm running GNU bash, version 3.2.17(1)-release (i386...
Is there any reason to use a varchar field instead of a date field in MySQL? I'm looking at an existing site and I see the developer has done this. Is there any reason to? ...
With Java Version 1.5.0_06 on both Windows and Ubuntu Linux : Whenever I add minutes to the date "2008/10/05 00:00:00" , it seems that an extra hour is wrongly added. ie: adding 360 minutes to 2008/10/05 00:00:00 at midnight should arrive at 2008/10/05 06:00:00 But it is arriving at 2008/10/05 07:00:00 The totally perplexing thing is...

I have a time represented as the number of seconds elapsed since midnight, January 1, 1970, UTC (the results of an earlier call to time()). How do I add one day to this time? Adding 24 * 60 * 60 works in most cases, but fails if the daylight saving time comes on or off in between. In other words, I mostly want to add 24 hours, but somet...

I'm code reviewing a change one of my co-workers just did, and he added a bunch of calls to Date.toMonth(), Date.toYear() and other deprecated Date methods. All these methods were deprecated in JDK 1.1, but he insists that it's ok to use them because they haven't gone away yet (we're using JDK 1.5) and I'm saying they might go away any ...
