I'm trying to build my own database query for entries in a folder for a remote app. I do have this working with SOAP calls, but since this is a query that's searching for all tasks below a couple of hundred workspaces and folders SOAP is just taking to long (not to mention the load on the server). By doing the query directly on the database the time is cut down from several seconds to below one second so this improves it a lot.  I have it working except for the start and end date. This is stored in a single cell in a format I don't understand. Anybody know how to manipulate this to get the start and end date?

Thanks.
