'Just give me any old date and I'll make it work' ... said the VB script to the coder

Love the NoSQL databases .. MongoDB

A 'createdAt' field can perfectly well contain either the Date/Time type or the String type. No problem for it to hold different things in different records.

What fantastic flexibility! Don't be assuming you can ".stftime" whatever comes out of the database.
