Hi,

I am trying to set default value in DateField using the following statement

DateField dateField = new DateField("Birthday:", 567993600, DateField.DATE | DateField.FIELD_LEFT);

but when I run my application it shows me 7 Jan 1970 instead of 1 Jan 1988.

I checked the time stamp on http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm

and it shows me correct expected date which is, "Fri, 01 Jan 1988 00:00:00 GMT"

I am using 8900 simulator and my date time is correct showing today's date 31 Dec 2010 in date time under options folder.

Regards,

Why does the minus operator give different result than the TIMESTAMPDIFF() function in mysql?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Since TIMESTAMP in mysql is stored as a 32bit value representing the time interval from 1970-jan-1 0:00:00 in seconds, I assumed that using minus (-) operator on TIMESTAMP values would give the difference of these values in seconds.
