| Apparently people have been telling me I can't post MySQL questions that relate to commands entered into the Command Prompt as it's not really SQL Server. But if you tell me a big forum that I can go to to ask these questions I will leave.The question I have though is there any way to change the default date format?When I create a table with a column named Subscribed for example, how do I make it so I can enter dates as 02-08-2008 for example (DD-MM-YYYY) instead of the standard YYYY-MM-DD?Thank youI am learning SQL. |

| A good all-purpose forum is www.dbforums.com As to the date question. Don't worry how the way SQL Server dates look. It doesn't actually store mm-dd-yyyy or yyyy-mm-dd. It actually stores an integer that represents how may days from '01/01/1900'. You can use SET Dateformat dmy in sql serverfor data entry.JimEveryday I learn something that somebody else already knew |
