This is hard to do using a DateField directly, because Python does not support incompletely specified dates. Just try to create a datetime.date(2007,0,0) and you'll see. So, even if your database supports putting values like this into a date field (I'm not sure which ones do, I know MySQL does), on retrieval you've got a problem because there's no way to represent the value as a Python datetime.date object. So, you need something like a "fuzzy" DateField, as described here: http://blog.elsdoerfer.name/2008/01/08/fuzzydates-or-one-django-model-field-multiple-database-columns/ Karen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
