20070219

20070219 is a numeric date string used to denote February 19, 2007 in the Gregorian calendar, written in the compact YYYYMMDD format. In contexts that adopt this standard, the year comes first, followed by the two-digit month and day, with leading zeros to preserve fixed width. The format is unambiguous when the convention is understood and is commonly used in computing, data storage, and file naming because it sorts lexicographically to reflect chronological order.

Applications include log file timestamps, database keys, version identifiers, and data exports where a compact, sortable date is advantageous. The full, unambiguous ISO 8601 form of the same date is 2007-02-19, and 20070219 often appears in filenames, identifiers, or data records that avoid separators to minimize parsing overhead.

While widely used in technical contexts, 20070219 can be misinterpreted in locales that default to MMDDYYYY or DDMMYYYY. In those settings, explicit formatting or locale-aware parsing is required to prevent confusion. The string does not encode time zone or time-of-day information; additional components are needed for precise timestamps.

Because it denotes a specific calendar date, 20070219 does not by itself indicate events, people, or entities. It may appear in historical records, datasets, or project schedules that reference that date.
