Thanks John,
" If you make it a REAL instead of DATETIME your code will 
be clearer." 
So you meant that I should make my datatype as REAL instead of DATETIME.

or INTEGER.

If you declared your date and time (timestamp) column DATETIME it will 
be floating point and will store date and time in 8 bytes.  Use the FP 
bind function.  If you make it a REAL instead of DATETIME your code will 
be clearer.
