Hi, I am using rails 3.1.3 and ruby 1.9.3 with postgresql 9.1.
Also, I am working from a tutorial and I have only two records in my database at this time. I initially setup the default setting for the dates in the database to follow this format: '1979-09-21', but I would like to change this to: '09-21-1979'. I first tried to use pgadmin3 and then to go into the date fields and change them to the format I indicated above. This did nothing since in my rspec model and controller I have the tests setup to the old format, namely: '1979-09-21'. So, I thought I could change the date formats in my rspec model and controller files, but then my tests failed. Next I thought I could delete the date field of concern from my database and then use a migration to add it back, but this time without a default. Nope, none of this seemed to work because the date of concern still appears in my database as '1979-09-21'. Well the only other conclusion I could come to is that I do not understand where the format for the date fields are being set. Thankfully I turn to this forum and hopefully one of you learned rails practitioners can point me to a path that will not only solve my dilemma but will also lead to my edification on what is happening in rails with the date format? Thanks for any help, suggestions or pointers that you care to share. fuzzy. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
