I think sticking to a date string is the safest thing to do. Especially if you use iso yyyy-mm-dd because the database indexes are predix based and are able to sort and build ranges. So you don't loose much. The problem is regarding the conceptually incompatible offset and #asDate. #asDate just cuts off minutes hours and seconds from am DateAndTime. So if the offset has a startDate of yesterday asDate will give a date yesterday. In my code I either use "asLocal asDate" or date as string. No better solution so far
