[Info-ingres] Database create time

[Martin Bowes]

If I create a database right now, the db_id is 86969425

Date +%s is 1538576004

That's a hell of a difference.

In 2038, this i4 would overflow, so it's still the same thing - 46 years (or some constant that was chosen)

Hi All,

It used to be that the iidatabase catalog field db_id was the number of seconds since epoch for the database create.

But no longer the case in Ingres11.

Can anyone tell me what the db_id is relative to?
