Thanks for your remark. You are right about the timestamp.
I do not need this timestamp but it came up as a fix in my early stages
for an error message when I used: [ I think it needed something in the ()]
from DateTime import DateTime
and in my class:
date=DateTimeCol()
Now that I have added:
from mx import DateTime
if mxdatetime_available:
col.default_datetime_implementation = MXDATETIME_IMPLEMENTATION
this error does not show up.
As a result of your remark I have cleaned my code to:
class Birthday(sqlobject.SQLObject):
date = DateTimeCol()
Ok I have to read the backend manual for that.
To see what the benefits are.
Frans.
