I ended up implementing my own "DistantFuture" method in my Utility class. Not the greatest, but it works like a charm.

I can't believe that Chuck hasn't come up with a fix for this MS SQL "shortcoming". He's fixed so many others.

Slacker. He probably can't.

I can, but it is too easy so I don't want to. :-P That and I don't use DistantFuture.

Apparently MS SQL Server does not like the value NSTimestamp.DistantFuture tries to send to the database.

After capturing the exact SQL and trying it out using Aqua Data Studio, I get the following error: "Syntax error converting datetime from character string."

The value it is trying to use is: '292278994-08-17 02:12:55'

MS SQL doesn't like anything more than a 4-digit year.

Don't tell me we learnt nothing from the y2k bug... and it's now a y10k bug ;-)


I suppose I could just not use NSTimestamp.DistantFuture, and pass a date like '9999-12-31 23:59:59' or something. Any better suggestions for a work-around?

Perhaps you could override your setters (via velocity) to call some transformFunction that'll round down a few years for mysql?
