Not what I intended, it just got my gears turning on how to best address this issue and I wanted to get the short answer out there. :-) If you're curious, you've inspired this post: http://substantiality.net/articles/2006/10/16/date-time-and-datetime-in-ruby where I explain in detail the behaviour you're seeing. I did my best, but any criticisms are welcome. :-) Hey Ben, that probably sounded a little short.

I'm not sure but they may need to be TimeStamp rather than DateTime (if indeed there is any difference) There's a list of fields here.. http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/MagicFieldNames Hi Ben,

I'm pretty sure I've never had to do this... And another thing, if you name your columns right, Ruby will do this for you! Were you using datetime or timestamp?
