I'm working on a GAE app. I want to query datastore and retrieve all records between startDate and endDate. Each record has a datetime field. I'm using a query similar to this (the below code is something I quickly grabbed - I'm not near my developer machine.):
Query query = pm.newQuery(Employee.class);
query.setFilter("lastName == lastNameParam");
query.setOrdering("hireDate desc");
query.declareParameters("String lastNameParam");
try {
List results = (List) query.execute("Smith");
if (results.iterator().hasNext()) {
for (Employee e : results) {
// ...
}
} else {
// ... no results ...
}
} finally {
query.closeAll();
}
How do I have to format the date to form a correctly working query? How is the datetime stamp stored in datastore? As timestamp? Fully formatted? I can't find ANY information on this. Please help.
