[rt-users] Question about Dates in DB

2007-06-19 Thread Justin Brodley
I'm working on some reports for our RT database, and I'm noticing that fields get populated with 1/1/1970 if there is nothing entered into the DB. Is this accurate assessment? If so can I just assume that 1/1/1970 = null? Thanks in advance. Justin Brodley

Yes, 1/1/1970 is equal to 'Not set', but I think you have to expect this to be changed to real NULL as I have very strong wish to change it as NULLs are clearer, easier for development and more flexible. Hope we'll have time to do it before 3.8.0 On 6/19/07, Stephen Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED]
