Having a problem with a Date data type.

Here's the query:

SELECT distinct date_format(auditdate, "%Y%M" ) as listUrl, date_format(
auditdate, "%Y%m" ) as blank
      FROM quality_history
      WHERE auditdate <> Now()
      ORDER BY listUrl desc
      LIMIT 6

auditdate is a DATE datatype

When I run this query the result datatype for both listUrl and blank is a
BINARY CHAR! Is that correct? Why a BINARY? Also, when I take out the
DISTINCT I get back a TIMESTAMP (pretty weird, huh?). I'm obviously missing
something. Any ideas on how I can return just a regular CHAR (or TEXT, or
VARCHAR, or DATE, or anything that looks like a DATE with the format of
%Y%M)? By the way, I'm running 3.23.51 on Windows 2000

Thanks in advance!
