Question

XPath Date dunctions

0

I am using mendix version 8.9. I have a list of where where I have a column called “Hire date” where for 2 employees, hire date is same that “9/15/2020”. To filter the database, I have used “[day-from-dateTime(HireDate)=15]” in xpath. But as output, I am getting only one row instead of 2. Please let me know the reason

DateTime value can be a pain.

Date time values are always stored in the database UTC format. But how it is handled on the server and thus how the comparison is done depends on the application and user time zone.

Then it also depends if the attribute is localized or not and how it is viewed by the user.

Take a look at this learning module for some more background on this: https://gettingstarted.mendixcloud.com/link/module/374/lecture/3046/7.1-Introduction
