Bug

Querying a date field based on Epoch time values in ArcGIS GIS Server 10.5 REST endpoint of a hosted feature service stored in the relational ArcGIS Data Store 10.5.1 returns "Database Error".

Additional Information

By default, services support the SQL 92 standard when querying dates. This format is supported by all data sources on top of which the feature service can run. Format examples of this are as follows: = DATE 'YYYY-MM-DD' = TIMESTAMP 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS' The epoch date format (testdate = '1522676196000') is not standard and is not supported across all data sources – it happens to work with elastic but does not work with other sources. For this reason we recommend using the SQL 92 format above.

Workaround

It is also possible to note that if the WHERE clause used a specific date stamp in the form of  WHERE: testdate='2018-04-01', the query for the relational hosted feature layer returns the features correctly. Applications that use REST services to query date fields based on Epoch time only cannot use this workaround.
