Hi Egor. Thanks for your answer. I'm relatively new to MySQL.
Isn't any way -like an environment variable or configuration file setting or something like that- to change the date format at the MySQL side, not at client side ?

Use DATE_FORMAT() function to retrieve dates in the specific format: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Date_and_time_functions.html But in this case you should rewrite your queries. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Egor Egorov / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
