huh? How did this happen...? I just checked my outbox, and the message I wrote 
yesterday[1] contained "new_date = CONCAT(". It seems as the substring "CON" has been 
replaced with a linefeed somewhere along the way...?

Anyway, trying again, the correct statement should be:

UPDATE a SET new_date = CONCAT( 
  MID(my_date,7,4),'-',
  MID(my_date,1,2),'-',
  MID(my_date,4,2));

[1] That was wednesday. With the current long delays on the list, this message will 
probably not be read until friday... :/
