SQLlyDates
✓ functionalRead dates your way: absolute, relative, or with a format that suits the job.
Dates become much easier to trust when their format and time zone are clear. Set both in Settings › Results › Dates.
| Option | Choices | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Format pattern | Free-text pattern (yyyy, MM, dd, HH, mm, ss) | yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss |
| Time zone | Always UTC / Native (as stored) / Always local / Specific time zone | Always UTC |
| Time zone id | Searchable IANA zone picker, shown when “Specific time zone” is chosen - the zone is validated as you type and a live preview shows its current UTC offset | UTC |
| Alignment | Left / Center / Right | - |
Dates use the pattern you choose; there is no relative “2 hours ago” mode. To turn an integer epoch into a date, use an epoch= format override.
