Has anyone done any leg work on getting and manipulating UNIX-style timestamps in PB?

I ask only because I'm going to be using SQLite as a database back-end (I think) but it doesn't have any internal date or time functions and since it's typless the only option I have for storing a time value is in the UNIX way (seconds since January 1, 1970). I've looked through all the API docs I can get my hands on and haven't found any internal functions for getting or dealing with timestamps..

Any help appreciated! Thanks!

The PureBasic Date library works the unix way, seconds since jan 1 1970

The maximum date supported is December 31, 2037 23:59:00 if using 32 bit under unix.

Code: Select all

d = Date(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)
Debug d

d = Date(2037,12,31,23,59,59) 
Debug d 

Debug Year(d)
Debug Month(d)
Debug Day(d)
Debug Hour(d)
Debug Minute(d)
Debug Second(d)
