I'm writing this to help some of my users test some software that requires jumps like this in ...

I'm pretty sure that the trick is fairly simple, but I'm slammed today so I thought I'd reach out to SO's geniuses for a quick fix. Thanks :) EDIT: The language I'm using does not have this bui...

Surely there is a way to store a date value prior than 1-1-1900 in a column other than varchar? Or do I really have to break this out, and perform my own datetime library for date differences, sorting, and such?
