Hello Everyone,
I've been "not lazy" and have been looking-up the answer to the
following question:
When does the new day begin - in timestamp format? I was always taught
that as the clock hit midnight (00:00:00 or 24:00:00) that it was zero
hour of the new day. That would mean that a day would be
2006-05-31-00.00.00.000000 to 2006-05-31-23.59.59.999999 would be all
the time units that would make up the day of 31May06.
I've got a number of programmers that consider 24:00:00.000000 to be the
last time unit of the day. I haven't quite sorted out their logic, but
they balked when I said 24:00:00 and 00:00:00 were the same time when
they were arguing that 2006-05-31-00.00.00.000000 to
2006-05-31-24.00.00.000000 was the valid range.
Any thoughts?
