First of all, I'm sorry for double posting this question in the mail-
group and in the forum, not sure which is more appropriate, if not
both :)

Hey there,

As you probably know, the TIMESTAMP data type has limitations.
(minimum and max dates allowed, cause of the the int base datatype -
from Fri, 13 Dec 1901 20:45:54 UTC to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 UTC).
What should we do when we need to accept dates that occur before or
after that?

I use Doctrine and MySql for my symfony projects. MySql supports the
DATE data type which does not have the timestamp limitation. If I use
in my schema a column of datatype "date" it translates it correctly
into the SQL schema, but the validation process and internal
conversions inside symfony+Docstrine handle it as a timestamp, and,
therefore, make me limited again.

I've reopened what seems to be a related ticket 
http://trac.symfony-project.org/ticket/5701
so that symfony can be changed. (I've looked into sf code but am quite
lost of where to start to solve this, I would need to study the
validation and doctrine classes)

But, what is the best thing to do meanwhile to bypass this problem and
accept old dates using a sfWidgetFormI18nDate?

Thankyou very much for your help!

Keep up the good work!
