If you are talking about the DATE field type, then you don't have to change it. BUT, if you don't you'll be forever reformatting it with STR_TO_DATE() in every query that does anything useful with it (comparing dates, sorting by date, using datetime functions etc).

 

For currency fields use type DECIMAL with 2 dec. places defined rather than FLOAT

Its a varchar right now, seems to work ok though.  As long as i don't have to change the data type for the start date, it'll be ok.  I'm just worried about the sales import script.  it'll be trying to import it as a string though an array. I think i got it formatted in the right place, i'll see soon enough.
