OpenACS docs are written by the named authors, and may be edited by OpenACS documentation staff.

db_multirow -extend { mydate_pretty } {
+    ANSI format and then using lc_time_fmt to format it for display.
Example 12.1. Getting datetime from the database ANSI-style
db_multirow -extend { mydate_pretty } {
     select to_char(mydate, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') as mydate_ansi,
           ...
