When used properly, it's a wonderful tool - especially with the extra date/time types introduced in SQL Server 2008.I saw a similar situation where the timestamps were stored in <a href="http://www.ideaexcursion.com/2008/10/23/converting-between-gregorian-and-julian-dates/" title="Converting between Gregorian and Julian Dates" rel="nofollow">Julian dates</a>.
