Take the two following examples: Date.parse("02/20/2009") Date.parse("02-20-2009") In the first example, the order is assumed to be MM DD YYYY, but in the second example an error is raised because (I'm assuming) it tries to parse it as DD MM YYYY. Why? ...

Hi, I'm creating a web based system which will be used in countries from all over the world. One type of data which must be stored is dates and times. What are the pros and cons of using the Java date and time classes compared to 3rd party libraries such as Joda time? I guess these third party libraries exist for a good reason, but I'v...
I can't think of an easy one or two liner that would get the previous months first day and last day. I am LINQ-ifying a survey web app, and they squeezed a new requirement in. The survey must include all of the service requests for the previous month. So if it is April 15th, I need all of Marches request ids. var RequestIds = (from r...
I'm using MS SQL Server but welcome comparitive solutions from other databases. This is the basic form of my query.

I want to be able to validate a date in my model in ruby on rails. However, the day, month and year values are already converted into an incorrect date by the time they reach my model.

I have two datetimes, one from a timestamp, and another I'm generating in code. I need to test their equality, and would love to do it without too many expressions. Here's an example of my two dates: DateTime expireTimeStampUTC = DateTime.Parse(UTCValueFromDatabase)); DateTime expectedExpireTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(Nu...
You system allows new users to register and enter their wedding date. Being a purist, I wanted to store this as a date. After user interviews, it was clear that the reality differs from this approach. Users are often not sure of the day or the month, and wish to store partial dates, so "June 2009" or "sometime in 2012". Does anyone know...

I have an Array of Events and I want to divide them into a 2-dimensional Array based on event_date (which returns a Time object). But I want it to be by the day part of the date.
