* Can have a "zero" date, a date typed field needs to be 0001-01-01

Um, that's only true _if_ the date field has a value. I assume the
"zero" date doesn't refer to something that happened before time
started, but rather it refers to a field for which you don't have a
value, right? That's what null is for. Date types support null w/out a
problem, so why do you need a "zero" date?

-Walden

PS. My preference is (obviously) to use the date type. Why? Because
you're storing a date! You don't use a char field to store a number, do
you?
