i think the default settings in Sql server for the dateformat is
YYYY-MM-DD

Whatever might be the settings if you are adding something this explicity '01-Jan-2002' , i think Sql server understands it and takes it correctly.

Anywayz ,you can always use Cast function to format the date the way you want .
