[pLog-svn] r3509 - in plog/trunk/class: dao data

[Oscar Renalias]

Oh that's lovely.

I know we shouldn't have written code like
substr(mysql_date_field,4,6) to obtain the month number, but changing
the format of a column from one type to another within a minor release
(4.0 to 4.1, not even 4.x to 5.x) seems a big change for me...

At least by using our Timestamp class we're shielded from this, too
bad we didn't use it everywhere.
