You can either use the method you have mentioned on your web page or
you can directly get the string you want from the command line
environment:
do shell script "date '+%Y-%m-%d %T'"
And I agree, it should be easier to do this directly in AppleScript.
An hour, minute, and second property should be added to the Date class.
The hour should default to a 24 hour format when you get it as a
property, with another property to determine if the default format for
the current user is 24 hour or AM/PM.

Hi all,
While working to convert an AppleScript date to a MySQL DATETIME date
(yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) I ran into a small problem. While AppleScript
supports things like:
month of someDate
day of someDate
year of someDate
etc
It doesn't provide for
hour of someDate
minute of someDate
seconds of someDate
but instead gives us "time string". Using this and some TID
manipulation, I was able to get the information I wanted [1] but I
think it should be easier. I've filed a feature request with Apple and
hope that anyone else who agrees will do the same.
Thanks!
[1] See
<http://moondrop.nilzero.com/archives/2003/12/22/
applescript_date_to_mysql_datetime.php> for how I did it - There's
probably a better way, but this works for me.
