Hello,

one friend of mine created a Business Object with attribute of&nbsp; type "Date Only".

He deployed it on Bonita wildfly bundle 7.8.4 connected to&nbsp;Sqlserver

The related table has the attribute of type nvarchar.

Is it normal?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,  
Yes, dates format are serialized in the database using the [ISO-8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) string format.
