How are you inserting that date value into the statement. Are you using JDBC? If so then be careful to use java.sql.Date instead of java.util.Date. The effect of doing this is that java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date and overrides the toString() method used to extract the date so that the output is in standard SQL YYYY-MM-DD format. This format is also known as ISO 8601. This is what everyone ought to be using but alas some vendors such as Oracle use an DD-MMM-YYYY format as the default.
