in addition: the round function is very flexible! You can use any number as
second argument. E.g you might want to round a DATETIME value (seconds) to
hours, you can use round(datetime,60*60), to days: ....,60*60*24, ... or
even to half-hours: ....,60*30). Also you can write that more readable:
rounded=round(datetime,"00:30"t);
That is very useful for something like MERGEing or for comparing, ...
