Re: Converting ISO dates to Timestamp format?

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know that was confusing.. ISO vs *ISO db data type.

Since these types of dates are becoming standard in XML/JSON/etc I thought
maybe there was some SQL function to do it automatically.. it's no fun
stripping apart a string/date and forcing it back into something.
