Dates are real pain the butt with the connector and MySQL.  You didn't break
anything.  Add a DateTime cast in front of row("UPDATED").

The problem is that MySQL supports illegal dates and I'm trying to fully
support that too.  If I have a date of '0000-01-01' in MySQL, then I want
Row("updated").ToString() to print "0000-01-01" or at least 01/01/0000 since
this is what the user wanted.

However, I can't do this with a normal DateTime object.  To support this, I
am returning a MySqlDateTime for date and datetime fields.  MySqlDateTime
has a conversion operator to convert to a DateTime (if possible).
