Hi guys This might be slightly off topic but hopefully someone can help. I have a field that is a varchar and I stored dates in it. But now I want to change the type of the column to date, but I have a problem that the formats differ: my format: mm/dd/yyyy mySQL format: yyyy-mm-dd So can I either: a. change the format of the date format or b. do i have to write a function that changes my format to the mySQL before changing the column type??
