Dates and times

Dates and times in RethinkDB

RethinkDB has native support for millisecond-precision times with time zones. Some highlights:

  • Times are integrated with the official drivers, which will automatically convert to and from your language’s native time type.
  • Queries are timezone-aware, so you can ask questions like “Did this event happen on a Monday in the time zone where it was recorded?”
  • Times work as indexes, so you can efficiently retrieve events based on when they occurred.
  • Time operations are pure ReQL, which means that even complicated date-time queries can be distributed efficiently across the cluster.
