unlang time / date comparison

[Franks Andy (RLZ) IT Systems Engineer]

Thanks Arran,
  I'll give it a try. I did find something to do with %1 / %I (can't
remember which) and dividing by "epoch" so may be able to use that too?
If in doubt give it a go eh?
Thanks
Andy

Use one of the SQL functions (UNIX_TIMESTAMP()) to pull the date field
value out as an integer and do a straight comparison with "%{l}". Or if
you write a SQL timestamp string into a date type attribute, it might be
smart enough to parse it for you, and then you can do
"%{integer:Timestamp-Attr}" and compare with "%{l}".

Not 100% sure the code is there to do that though...
