Mini Micro supports dates/times in two different formats: as a string (by default in SQL format), and as a number of seconds since a reference date (Jan 01, 2000). The numeric format is useful for doing date/time calculations, like finding the amount of time between two dates, or adding some amount of time to a starting date/time.
For details on the format specifiers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings .
