I'm trying to import thousands of dated records from a comma delimited
file into a MySQL table.  All of these records have the date as mm/dd/yy.
MySQL according to the documentation will only accept as a DATE datatype,
dates with the year listed first.  After importing the data, all dates
read 'March 1, 2000'.

I am aware of the following choices:
        1:  Change the DATE datatype to VARCHAR.
        2:  Write some kind of script to rearrange the date format in my
            .csv file.

The first seems the easy way, the second I am not capable of.  If anyone
has any other suggestions I would be happy to hear them.

TIA,
