NAV - TIMESTAMP

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 40

dear friends,

I need your support.

I'm extracting data from NAV tables with timestamp without problems.

I simply convert the timestamp to bigint and apply the required where conditions.

The question is: How can i know the NAV timestamp for a specific date? I need this timefield to execute the first extract.

regards,

PM

    Hi

    The field TIMESTAMP is not a date or time stamp. Its a binary used to keep track of record vesions of the same record. I guess you extract directly from SQL ?        

    Use "Entry No." for transaction tables.      

    From technet:

    timestamp is a  data type that exposes automatically generated binary numbers, which are guaranteed to be unique within a database. timestamp is used typically as a mechanism for version-stamping table rows. The storage size is 8 bytes.
