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 received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

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

Or should I use another solution? store it as DateField - most convenient - i woulld think you would use more space and more scripting time storing only day month -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

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. -- Antonio --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

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.
