[Phpwebsite-developers] dates

[<php...@li...>]

In my module I want to store dates.  I'm wondering if there is a 
sql-standard date field.  I've seen and used various datatypes like date, 
datetime, timestamp, etc.  Is there one that is standard across databases?

Otherwise I could store month, date, and year as varchar fields and then 
just use php to create a php date object for manipulation.

Don.
