[Ns-developers] Timestamp Storage for Statistics

[Bryan Ward]

In the development of the Simulation Automation Framework for Experiments
(SAFE, http://www.eg.bucknell.edu/safe), it has come to my attention that
ns-3 has its own data structure for the representation of time values.  I
need to store these time values in the SQL database I am using.  For the
purpose of this framework which is used for statistical analysis of data, is
it necessary to store timestamps in this format, or can values be cast down
to double precision floating point numbers which the database can handle
natively?
