I'm confused too. A GDG data name is of the form <base_dsn>.GnnnnVmm, where
nnnn is the absolute generation number and "mm" is a version and 99.999999%
of the time ​is "00". The only timestamp that I know of the the one in the
catalog, which is the date & time the catalog entry was put into the
catalog. Normally, this is the same as the creation date & time, but can be
different if "something happens" and the GDG entry is recatalogued.

​What are you hoping for? If you want the timestamp in the DSN, I think you
are outta luck.​

I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove
it.
