For now I would keep implementation with Date, as long as Phoenix Date is
suitable for this use case. When we switch Date in Phoenix to JDBC date, we
would migrate this (and other functionality) to new/most suitable data type (i
mean like datetime in other databases).
I don't actually see any advantage with casting in query, it'll only do
query more complicated than is required. I think we should rather consider to
create DATETIME data type.
