Hi horseman,
I had the very same issue when I first started using Trongate. You are not wrong, it should be null, but because the submit method sends an empty string if a date is not set, MySQL and mariadb sets a default value in the date field, which is what you are seeing as a Unix timestamp. Have a look at this thread to see how it was resolved via DaFa's great suggestion. https://trongate.io/help_bar/thread/8xrrqTzLRfcd Cheers!

If i create a new record and don't select a date (because is not aplicable for this special record), nevertheless the date is stored in the database as 1970-01-01.
It should be NULL or I'm wrong?
How to handle this type of optional Dates?
