> Hi all,

> I'd like to know what's the best way to set a date/time field in a
database.
> I thought the following was quite good (Q is a TADOQuery *):

> Q->SQL->Add("UPDATE TableName SET FieldName=" + String(double(Now())));
>
> But that's not true: with SQL server you should substract 2, furthermore
> comma must be substituted with dot (it depends on the international
settings
> of the PC though) and maybe some other bugs are behind the corner. I found
> many problems/differences handling the date/time field as a string, too.

> So, I'm looking for a sure and standard (same for many databases) way to
> achieve this simple job. Thanks for any hint.
