Entering dates pre 1970...

Hi, we seem to have a problem entering dates pre 1970. We use a field of type ‘datetime’ in Servoy.

We use PostgreSQL as backend, and
PostgreSQL time stamps (timestamp without time zone) should cope with 4713 BC to 874897 AD with a resolution of 1 microsecond.

Is this a limitation of Servoy, Java or something else going on?

Found this:

epoch 1970-01-01 00:00:00+00 (Unix system time zero)

. Don’t know if that means that this is the minimum date you can enter though…

Sorry, false alarm. I have got clarification on this one.

Servoy is fine, it is mySQL and the PHP website playing up.

My customer just put on some stock into their database from 1854 :wink:
