    Default date format change from YYYYMMDD?

    We are in the process of migrating our database server over to a new system.
    The old system has Coldfusion 4.5, Win2k Server and MS SQL 2000. We're
    migrating to Coldfusion MX7, Win2003 and MS SQL 2000.
    Everything seems to work on the new system, but the date that get posted onto
    the database are in the format YYYYMMDD instead of MMDDYYYY
    Is this something that can be changed on the ColdFusion side or MS SQL?

    Default Re: date format change from YYYYMMDD?

    Did you actually change databases? You mention sql 2000 for both.

    In any event, as long as you are storing dates as dates and not text, it never
    matters what format you think the database is storing it in. Between the
    createodbcdate and dateformat functions you have full control.
