Hi, I have to store dates inside a DB, but unfortunately my date representation can be a string like "2007" but also a normal date string, like "2007-8-12" ... I want to use Date/DateTime objects because they are easy to manipulate, but Date.parse can parse only the second format, not the first (which is understandable ...). How can I solve this problem ? Storing something like 2007-0-0 or 2007-1-1 is ok for me, like in Date.new(2007). I can check if the string contains '-' and if not do something like Date.new(string.to_i) but I don't like this solution ...
