Is there a way to change the format of date fields MySQL is expecting when LOADing data from a file? I have no problem with the format MySQL saves the date but most spreadsheet programs I use don't make it easy to export text files with date fields in the format YYYY-MM-DD even if I formated the field that way on-screen.
It would be great if you could tell MySQL on the command line to expect dates in the format Month/Day/Year or something like that and be able to interpret that and convert the date to the format it's expecting on the fly. -- Ferindo
