Hi all, I have a large text file that I am inserting into a mysql db and seem to have a problem with the date format. The data is currently in the mm/dd/yyyy format. The command I am using is INSERT INTO TABLE (QID,REV,DATE) VALUES ("619" , "12" , "1/4/2001"); I am using phpMyAdmin with the above command. I have over 1000 lines of data to add and changing all the dates would be a royal pain. Is the note a way to set the format in the column description to allow for the current data format to remain as is and have the db insert the date in the correct mySQL format??
