Date is my favorite while it comes to OR mapping :) It's also really funny to import / export those data between different databases. All the syntax & precision... & locales.... So I mostly use long milliseconds since 1.1.1970, and convert it to date when necessary. It's portable, it's xml-friendly, it can be easily sorted and I do not depend on DB view about allowed data formats, how they come out of db or whatever. regards. ===== ----[ Konstantin Pribluda ( ko5tik ) ]---------------- Zu Verst�rkung meines Teams suche ich ab Sofort einen Softwareentwickler[In] f�r die Festanstellung.
