.. note::
There are known issues with the way MySQLdb converts date strings into
datetime objects. Specifically, date strings with value 0000-00-00 are valid for
MySQL but will be converted into None by MySQLdb.
This means you should be careful while using loaddata/dumpdata with rows
that may have 0000-00-00 values, as they will be converted to None.
