The Oracle has pondered your question carefully, and speaks thusly:

What you'd really like to do here is use the custom object interface in DBKit.

You can't, however, because of a SybaseAdaptor bug.

Another way to do this would be to create a custom Association subclass, which  
converts your int to a date or time string on the fly.  You'd then hook two of  
these custom Associations to the integer date property, and you'd be rocking.

The trick is to hook up all of your associations in IB, and then replace the  
date ones with your custom versions at run time.
