I stand corrected. I stopped used MySQL for anything important back
around version 3.something, after it ate my data once too often.

The fact remains however that Postgres handled a much broader date
range, including dates before the dark ages, and that it properly
understands timezones. Timezones have existed since before the Unix
epoch.
