Yes, you can do it that way too. The effect is the same as using the Read
Format - the calue can be temporarily out of sync if you change the date
value. The advantage of doing it in EntityModeler is that you can put this
into prototypes and have an application that supports multiple databases.
Done as a trigger, you need to re-implement to compensate for differences
between databases.
