I would feel more comfortable waiting until Toby releases 0.93. He has
been supportive of my distributing the patches and descriptions of the
shortcomings to the hibernate-devel list, but I think we should wait
until a released Mckoi is more compatible right out of the box.

A counter-argument is that Mckoi seems to work almost as well as
Interbase, so if you want to make the supported db list longer... :-).

Yeah. Mckoi just puts the long value date.getTime() into the database
for all three types DATE TIME and TIMESTAMP (actually I think
TIMESTAMP maybe gets a few more bits). Toby has fixing this on his TO
DO list.
