If the battery for the calendar/clock in the systems I am familiar with suddenly failed, the dates you would get would be in the 1970s, 1904, maybe 1900. That does not mean that some custom function someone wrote would not use that particular date as a default date for some reason. One thought, deliberately setting the system clock back leaves a lot of footprints, and it would usually take an administrator's account, a fair amount of knowledge of the system, and and a few minutes with a search tool to erase them all. But there are lots of other ways to get bad dates into records. -- Joel Rees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sql, query --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
