Rails - Jun 2006 - Multiparameter error

Hello,

What''s the best way to deal with dates prior to 1970 using Rails. 
I''ve
seen some suggestions for hacks to fallback to the Date class if Time 
fails, but I''m not sure exactly how to implement them.

This is from the wiki

require ''date''
# It''s necessary to do this, because Time doesn''t
# support dates before 1970...

class ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column
  def self.string_to_time(string)
    return string unless string.is_a?(String)
    time_array = ParseDate.parsedate(string)[0..5]
    begin
      Time.send(Base.default_timezone, *time_array)
    rescue
      DateTime.new(*time_array) rescue nil
    end
  end
end

Any help would be appreciated

Jeff
