Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: how to find out the exact date of i.e. "1st monday of this month"

Eh, I hope we remove date functions that hit the database step by step. AOLserver and/or TCL have date functions as well and using them means:

* hitting the database less frequently
* using less db handles
* less portability woes

If you are in a clustered environment you need to think about syncing times between the different machines. Oh, and whenever you stick data into the database then get the date+time from the database machine.
