So, despite rudy's insistence, I still think that three
columns - year, month, day - will enable much more rapid extraction and
avoid confusion with the year.
you just haven't worked with sql enough to know the pain that separate year,
month, day columns will bring
you mentioned that you want 1/365th of the entries each day
i'm betting that's not really what you want -- you probably want to pull all
rows where the birthday corresponds to tomorrow, or something
1/365th of the entries is not the way to go about it
oh, and do not listen to anyone who tells you to use unixtimes
those are an abomination
:oP
and *require* you to convert -- always!! -- in order to
manipulate them, or even display them!!
True, but it also means that they work across almost all languages,
making it easier to change and develop in future.
