Re: Date Format in SQL

This really isn't an RDi question. In SQL scripts if you click on the
Connection tab and select JDBC Configuration - Default you can go to the
Format tab and change the date format.

I've done a bit of research and cannot figure out how to change the
default date format for queries in Run SQL Scripts using RDI.

I'm used to ISO formats as the default, but somehow it's now set at
MM/DD/YY (MDY) and all my queries over a file with a "valid" date comes
back with a warning that there's and invalid date if the date field is
selected.

We use a date of '9999-01-01' to signify a non-ending enrollment period,
which is of course not a valid date for MDY format.

How did it change from ISO to MDY? And how do I change it back?
