If you enter &quot;15. Jan 2013&quot; it will know the difference. The goal of the datatype is to understand a point in time within a given precision. 15th of January is not a point in time, it is a recurring date, and therefore not in the domain of this datatype (just as &quot;Easter&quot; is not, nor &quot;Sunday&quot;). <div>
<br></div><div>Therefore for &quot;15. Jan&quot; the best guess is the month of January in the year 15 AD (Julian calendar).</div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/1/3 swuensch <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:swuensch@gmail.com" target="_blank">swuensch@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span><br>
