converting an SQL timestamp to/from a real date

In vb.net, is there anyway to convert a SQL timestamp field into a real
date. Also can I convert a real date into a SQL timestamp

A SQl Server timestamp column is not a date at all.

It is a binary representation of a number.

Cast it as int to see it's value.

Howdy! I have some dates in a MySQL database that are in a 'Y-m-d' format. Is there a way to have PHP read these dates and convert them to a 'd-M-Y' format?

I have a timestamp field where I find I'm doing a lot of searching by date (YYYY-MM-DD) or using this field as a match to another table that has a date format. I wanted to create an index on the timestamp field using a date format. Is this possible? I tried: CREATE INDEX test_2 ON table1 USING btree to_char(field2, 'MM-DD-YYYY'); but I get an error message error at or new to_char TIA Patrick Hatcher
