# Date A date. Stored in two bytes as the number of days since 1970-01-01 (unsigned). Allows storing values from just after the beginning of the Unix Epoch to the upper threshold defined by a constant at the compilation stage (currently, this is until the year 2106, but the final fully-supported year is 2105). The minimum value is output as 0000-00-00. The date is stored without the time zone. [Original article](https://clickhouse.yandex/docs/en/data_types/date/)
