If you want to store values in the DATE columns you shoul convert all data to the -mm-dd format. Then you can use DATE_FORMAT() function to retrieve data in various formats: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Date_and_time_functions.html -- 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]
date format problem
Hi, I'm moving a JavaServlet app over from Tomcat on Win2K with a MS SQL 7 DB to Tomcat on Red Hat Linux with mySQL. Of course, there's about a hundred queries that use dates and of course, they're all in the format mm-dd-. is there a way to format the date column in my mysql tables to accept a date in this format or do i really have to go through every sql statement and parse the date and rebuild it to be -mm-dd? thanks so much. deadline is fast approaching.

if your using perl, heres a real simple way to format your date:
my $date = "28/06/2001";
my($mn,$day,$yr) = split '/',$date;
my $db_date = join('-',$yr,$mn,$day);
# Your output should now be $db_date = 2001-06-28
Hope this helps ;)
