DateTime fields are not checked when updating object

[mikhail@…]

I created an object, but after that I updated it in Django admin and edited DateTimeField to 2006-02-31 00:00:00. In database there is 0000-00-00 00:00:00, and I get an exception when refering to object:

ValueError at /games/game/1/
year is out of range
Request Method: 	POST
Request URL: 	http://localhost:8000/games/game/1/
Exception Type: 	ValueError
Exception Value: 	year is out of range
Exception Location: 	/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MySQLdb/connections.py in defaulterrorhandler, line 33

Please verify that the date is correct before inserting/updating. See function time.strptime in Python.

Also IntegerField (and PositiveIntegerField) is not checked but simply substituted by database to 2^{31-1 if larger during inserting/updating.}

This should be caught by validation. Probably this will fix itself with the newforms-branch

[James Bennett]

Yeah, this is something we need to catch at the form validation stage. Might be worth working up a torture test of cases where MySQL will corrupt incoming data without raising an error, and running newforms through it.

I just tested it, form was validated correctly.
