Subject: Re: Problem with storing timestamp as datetime object

Hi,

You should use the built-in method to get the mtime of a file rather 
than fumble with the console:

time_1 = File.mtime 'myfile.foo'

This returns a Time object (independend of the platform).

Then you can load the Time extension from the standard library, parse 
the timestamp from the database and compare the Time object to the one 
above:

#-----------------------
require 'time'

time_1 = File.mtime 'myfile.foo'  # mtime of file
time_2 = File.parse '2012-06-05 14:16:28 UTC'  # from database
puts time_1 == time_2
#-----------------------
