When you send an INSERT statement to the server, what value are you passing for the date column? If you want to store a DATE, send a date! Don't send a "unixtime", or a "varchar" in some format, send a date. Why on earth would you go sending a "unixtime" to the server and then using a trigger to convert it into a "real date"?! >im correct? if im, should CAST help me? No, sending the proper value, that's what you should be doing. And storing a date-value in a DATE datatype will only be more convenient later on.
