Date and Time Functions

The ColdFusion Date and Time functions allow you to perform date and time manipulation on table columns and user-supplied fields.

Many of these functions work with date/time objects. A date/time object is a ColdFusion internal representation of a complete date and time with accuracy to the second. These objects are designed to facilitate the passing of date/time information between different ColdFusion functions and are not designed to be displayed as is. If you need to display a date/time object, you need to use one of the date/time formatting functions.
