More Y2K stuff...
From http://www.oracle.com/products/servers/rdb/html/y2000.html:
Applications which use Oracle Rdb and exploit the DATE, or TIMESTAMP
data types need have no concerns about their stored data when the year
2000 approaches. Oracle Rdb stores the DATE (both SQL92 compliant and
the VMS style) and TIMESTAMP containing the full year and century, and
has done so since the first version of Rdb released in 1984.
