[support] How to store/retreive date fields into/from MySql

[Austin Einter]

Hi All
I have a date field in my form.
How do I store/retreive the value into/from MySQL.

On google search, I saw people are suggesting to use either "int" or
"datetime" type.
Please suggest which one needs to be used.

If I use int (I hope core uses int), while storing can I just
store "form['values']['date1']" as %d and while retreivin, what are the
related apis to convert back to date.

Regards
Austin.
