Hi Geert, Well, I don't know, hence my question :-) Before posting, we discussed this with a few colleagues and 3 possibilities emerged:
- 0000-01-01T00:00:00Z - 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z - -9999-12-31T23:59:59Z But we were only guessing. ISO 8601 is not quite definitive about boundaries for the year component <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Years>. I felt that: - there might be a time which is handled specifically by MarkLogic (for comparisons, in the indexes, etc.) - there must be limitations about the earliest time representable, but I could not find them documented Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/ http://h2oconsulting.be/ On 22 July 2016 at 07:18, Geert Josten wrote: > How about “-9999-12-31T23:59:59Z”? > > Cheers, > Geert > > From: <[email protected]> on behalf of Florent > Georges <[email protected]> > Reply-To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <[email protected]> > Date: Thursday, July 21, 2016 at 5:07 PM > To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <[email protected]> > Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Bitemporal: minus infinity > > Hi, > > The bitemporal documentation mentions "infinity" several times, and says > we must use "9999-12-31T23:59:59Z" for that purpose. > > But as far as I can tell, it does not say anything about what to use for > "minus inifnity". > > Regards, > > -- > Florent Georges > http://fgeorges.org/ > http://h2oconsulting.be/ > > > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > [email protected] > Manage your subscription at: > http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general > > -- > <http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general> > Florent Georges > <http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general> > http://fgeorges.org/ > http://h2oconsulting.be/ > >
