<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to use the field type 'timestamp' since I have a 64-bit system, but MySQL documentation states that timestamps cannot go beyond 2038, is this true--even on a 64-bit system present-day?<br />
<br />
I'd prefer to not use datetime as I will lose auto timezone conversions...<br />
<br />
Please advise
