How does one convert:

1) A 32-bit integer date value to an acceptable SQL value for a DATE column,
or does a 32-bit numeric value suffice ?
2) A 32-bit integer time value to an acceptable SQL value for a TIME column,
or does a 32-bit numeric value suffice ?
3) A 64-bit large integer value to an acceptable SQL value for a TIMESTAMP
column, or does the 64 bit numeric value suffice ?

Essentially what are the acceptable values for inserting or updating a DATE,
TIME, or TIMESTAMP value in an SQL statement in Interbase ?
