Can you not change your proceedure and format your dates first using DAT_FORMAT()? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function _date-format You could put a trigger on the table that would format the dates before insert (although I'd go for the above) -----Original Message----- From: Ananda Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 July 2007 06:30 To: MySQL General Subject: Fwd: load data Hi All, We have an application where we load data on a daily basis and then do some analysis and the move this data into different tables. Data is comming in files. The date format in the file is "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss', but as you all know, in mysql , the default date format is "yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss". How can i specifiy this format in the load data infile script.
