Have had this before

You could always do an Iconv and the Status() to check if it was a valid date to convert conversly if it is valid you could use an Oconv and concatenate a dummy timestamp to the end of it.

Read/Write Cache Size

Is there any rule to set an optimal read/write cache the default is 128mb but I seem to get an increase in speed by increasing these. Is there a limit after which I will take a performance hit??
