Which data model for storing a month and year?
<p>I need to create a model which has a production month and year.</p>

<p>I can see 2 possibilities here:</p>

<ul>
<li>Use a <code>DateField</code>, with the <code>day</code> set to 1, and only use the month and date</li>
<li>Use 2 <code>IntegerFields</code>, one for the month and the other for the year.</li>
</ul>

<p>What are the advantages of each solution? Which do you recommend and why? Are there any other better way to achieve this?</p>
