I had hoped to start using timestamp db types instead of number of millis...
but on mysql it only seems to be to the precision of seconds, not millis...
also, for user audit records, I think being able to order them is nice to
have, but I don't know how to do it. Even if we have millis, there could be
two with the same millis, in which case we are back to if we need a DB
sequence or mysql auto increment. These are annoying for import/export
reasons.

Anyways, should we go back to using an integer with number of millis in it?
Also, should we look into auto-increment in db's for log ordering?

Thanks,
Chris
