Dates should be numeric internally, not integers #99

This is consistent with base R dates, which are always constructed as numerics

str(unclass(as.Date("2016-01-01")))
#>  num 16801
str(unclass(Sys.Date()))
#>  num 17107

This is true of base::as.Date.default and the other coercion methods in that file. Also output as numeric in readr.

If there are cases in base R where Dates are constructed as integers it seems like they are the exception rather than the rule and are likely bugs.

@hadley mentioned he was previously confused on this issue.

@krlmlr If you agree with this change I can send a PR to RMySQL to pass with this change and fix the CI failures.

Thanks. I'll port your changes to current master soon. What else do we need to change to DBItest to make it more compatible with odbc?

@krlmlr, I am actually working on updating odbc with current DBItest now, so will know better in a day or so. I can open some issues when I run into things.

Finalize specification. Most tests now come with a corresponding prose,
only those where the behavior is not finally decided don't have a prose
version yet (#88).

New tests
---------

- Test behavior of methods in presence of placeholders (#120).
- Test column name mismatch behavior for appending tables (#93).
- Test that `dbBind()` against factor works but raises a warning (#91).
- Test roundtrip of alternating empty and non-empty strings (#42).
- Test multiple columns of different types in one statement or table
(#35).
- Test `field.types` argument to `dbWriteTable()` (#12).
- Added tests for invalid or closed connection argument to all methods
that expect a connection as first argument (#117).
- Enabled test that tests a missing `dbDisconnect()`.
- Add test for unambiguous escaping of identifiers
(r-dbi/RSQLite#123).
- Reenable tests for visibility (#89).
- Fix and specify 64-bit roundtrip test.
- 64-bit integers only need to be coercible to `numeric` and `character`
(#74).
- Added roundtrip test for time values (#14).
- Added tweaks for handling date, time, timestamp, ... (#53, #76).
- Test that `dbFetch()` on update-only query returns warning (#66).

Adapted tests
-------------

- `NULL` is a valid value for the `row.names` argument, same as `FALSE`.
- A column named `row_names` receives no special handling (#54).
- A warning (not an error anymore) is expected when calling
`dbDisconnect()` on a closed or invalid connection.
- `row.names = FALSE` is now the default for methods that read or write
tables.
- Add `NA` to beginning and end of columns in table roundtrip tests
(#24).
- Stricter tests for confusion of named and unnamed SQL parameters and
placeholders (#107).
- Also check names of all returned data frames.
- The return value for all calls to `dbGetQuery()`, `dbFetch()`, and
`dbReadTable()` is now checked for consistency (all columns have the
same length, length matches number of rows) (#126).
- Removed stress tests that start a new session.
- Allow `hms` (or other subclasses of `difftime`) to be returned as time
class (#135, @jimhester).
- Test that dates are of type `numeric` (#99, @jimhester).
- Replace `POSIXlt` by `POSIXct` (#100, @jimhester).
- Use `"PST8PDT"` instead of `"PST"` as time zone (#110, @thrasibule).
- Added tests for support of `blob` objects (input and output), but
backends are not required to return `blob` objects (#98).
- The `logical_return`, `date_typed` and `timestamp_typed` tweaks are
respected by the bind tests.
- Fixed tests involving time comparison; now uses UTC timezone and
compares against a `difftime`.
- Tests for roundtrip of character values now includes tabs, in addition
to many other special characters (#85).
- Make sure at least one table exists in the `dbListTables()` test.
- Fix roundtrip tests for raw columns: now expecting `NULL` and not `NA`
entries for SQL NULL values.
- Fix `expect_equal_df()` for list columns.
- Testing that a warning is given if the user forgets to call
`dbDisconnect()` or `dbClearResult()` (#103).
- Numeric roundtrip accepts conversion of `NaN` to `NA` (#79).

Internal
--------

- Fix R CMD check errors.
- Internal consistency checks (#114).
- Skip patterns that don't match any of the tests now raise a warning
(#84).
- New `test_some()` to test individual tests (#136).
- Use desc instead of devtools (#40).
- All unexpected warnings are now reported as test failures (#113).
- `DBItest_tweaks` class gains a `$` method, accessing an undefined
tweak now raises an error.
- The arguments of the `tweaks()` function now have default values that
further describe their intended usage.
- New `with_closed_connection()`, `with_invalid_connection()`,
`with_result()` and `with_remove_test_table()` helpers, and
`expect_visible()`, `expect_inbisible_true()`, and `expect_equal_df()`
expectations for more concise tests.
