Working with dates and times in filters

Wherever a date/time (a timestamp) is required in a Broker Query API call, the default format for this timestamp is as follows:

yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss:SSS

For example, the following string describes 6:27 PM and 54 seconds, 312 milliseconds on the 23rd of January, 1972:

1972-01-23 18:27:54:312

You can override this default format by providing your own format string in your Broker Query API call.
