Firebase Question posted in
An extensive official documentation can be found here.

Can I use serverTimestamp() in a Firebase Query?

Can I query the Realtime Database using the startAt filter together with serverTimestamp()?

If so, or if not, is this explicitly documented somewhere?

    The answer appears to be no. Although I cannot find any documentation - I also cannot get code relying on serverTimestamp() to ever retrieve any information from the server when combined with listeners. I guess it's only for write operations.

    of course you can ,did you try anything yet ?

    only thing you need is to make sure you have some field value of timestamp in you doc so that during query you can use that to compare.

    import { serverTimestamp } from "firebase/firestore";
import { ref } from "firebase/database";

const db = getDatabase();
const timeStamp=serverTimestamp();
const ref = db.ref('server/saving-data/fireblog/posts');;
const query = ref.orderByChild('timestamp').startAt(timeStamp);
query.on('value', (snapshot) => {
  //do with the snapshot data here
});

    see retrieve-data#range-queries

    please try and then let us know.
