Hi all, I have run into a date storage problem that i don't like. A am storing historic house sales, and some of the old data i have received only contains the month and year, but not the date of the sale. Of course we want to store this information, but a DATE column won't quite do the job, because year, month, and day are all required.
No, they're not. Use '00' for the missing parts, e..g., '1970-03-00' or '1948-00-00'.
