I have a question, when loading dates into mysql I have found I can always use YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD, but frequently I need to load data from ASCII csv files where the date is M/D/YYYY. Currently, I am using perl to read the datafile and insert each record after converting the date data. I would prefer to be able to use 'LOAD FROM INFILE', but the dates do not convert correctly. Is there any way to use the data in M/D/YYYY format?
