I use this function to run SQL queries from bash scripts.

fRunQuery(){
# This function should always be preceeded by a SQL statement
# Loaded into the variable SQL
# ie) SQL="SELECT * FROM table"; fRunQuery
# The results of the query will be loaded into the variable
# $RESULT:
RESULT=`mysql --skip-column-names -h${dbhost} $db -u${dbuser} -e"${SQL}" -p${dbpass}`
return 0
}

var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1;//January is 0!
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
var hours = today.getHours();
var minutes = today.getMinutes();
var seconds = today.getSeconds();
if(dd<10){dd='0'+dd}
if(mm<10){mm='0'+mm}
d=mm+'/'+dd+'/'+yyyy+' '+hours+':'+minutes+':'+seconds

The following code snippet will display a waiting indicator during any AJAX request.

//Adds a wait indicator to any ajax requests
$('body').ajaxStart(function() {
$('#loading').show();
});
$('body').ajaxStop(function() {
$('#loading').hide();
});

These just seem to add up.
