Tk::DBI::Table assumes the first column in a select statement is the id column, and when I select a date/time column as the first column (as you have), I get this error before the table shows up:
parent element "1980-01-01 00:00:00" does not exist at C:/Perl/site/li
+b/Tk.pm li
ne 247.
 at C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/Derived.pm line 469

This is with Tk 800.24, Tk::DBI::Table 0.02, perl 5.8.4 (AS build 810).

Update: After some mucking about, I found that the "." in the date/time string was messing up the $hlist->add($entryPath) method (the date/time being used as the entry path for the HList). The "." is truncatated from the string in the error message, because "." is the default path 'separator' for an HList.
