Birthday

[Guillermo Fernandez Castellanos]

Hi,

I am trying to keep a birthday field in the database. But i am only
interested in the day and month. Is there a way of using a DateField
but only with day and month fields? Or should I use another solution?

Thanks,

G

  You could use an SmallInteger field and store MMDD... or use a date
field and default they Year value to some number, like 2000...

store it as DateField - most convenient - i woulld think you would  
use more space and more scripting time storing only day month

A DateField looks like what you want: instead of storing just day and  
month, why not store also the year somebody was born? That way you  
can calculate stuff like “ZOMG, it’s your 27th birthday, you’re  
getting old!” :-)

Cheers.

Hi,

I think I am going to go to the DateField solution.
I did not want to store the year because:
1) I do not know the years of all my friends, although I know the days.
2) Not everyone likes everybody to see how old they are :-)

Thanks all for your answer.
