About three weeks ago I was looking for this exact information. I was very surprised how awkward working with dates was in this language.

One other thing that I have found problematic is that I am trying to store dates in a SQLite database and so I am trying to store the number itself (while converting it to a date inside the program itself). However, I have been noticing that I get multiple dates back for the same day when I am trying to execute a group by query against the database.

I suspect this is because the number stored also represents the time as well as the date. Although I have not yet confirmed this. Does anyone know of a way to get the number representation of the date without the time? Or does anyone know of a better way to store dates in a database?
