Deprecate datetime field type in database (!223) · Merge requests · David Verdin / sympa · GitLab

This Gitlab instance will be unavailable from Saturday 18th of May at 17:00 PM to Sunday 19th of May at 10:00 AM.

We are progressively migrating our services onto a new virtual machine, and as Gitlab is one of our most important service, we will proceed with care, hence the extended unavailability.

All gitlab webpages ( *.ow2.io ) will also be unavailable, gitlab-runners as well.

Thanks for your understanding.

This PR deprecates datetime field type in database. Because:

There are no portable way to compare, increase or decrease such field values.
It's slow: Values should be converted to Unix timestamp; Index cannot be applied.

Database will be upgraded automatically during upgrading process.
