Is my memory playing tricks on me? I thought the floor value for the
DATE (L in DDS) data type was 00010101, and I see that "SQL for Dummies"
gives that as the floor for an SQL DATE.

I have experienced this same "contradiction".

It seems *ISO dates can have a default value of 00010101, but
this value cannot be assigned by a user program....

I would like to know more detail about how/why this works this way
