Re: Date Format in SQL

Oh, thanks Jon. I had read that somewhere but failed to see how it helped me when I don't use ACS either. I'm almost strictly RDi and even use it for my green screens. Susan has taught me well.

I do sometimes use STRSQL to develop and then copy/paste over to a script, especially when my scripts get rather complicated and need more than a screen or two.

It is not RDi per se. What you are using is the version of ACS (Access Client Services) that is shipped with RDi for convenience. That's why you're being told it is not an RDi issue.

Ok. Now I'm really lost, and it may be my version difference.

I'm on RDi version: 9.6.0.8 20200403_1723


Jim: you say it's not an RDi Question, but I'm not having this problem in interactive SQL, and I'm not trying this in anything BUT RDi. Again, my lack of knowledge of the inner workings and connectivity of things is hurting me right now, but I don't know any better at this time.

Jim and Robert: Both of you indicate the same steps, but I can't follow either of them as my RDi menu options do not say precisely what you are telling me. Are you saying in "Preferences" under the "Window" drop down menu item I should be able to find "SQL Scripts" or "Run SQL Scripts Connection"? I can find neither there, and I don't find either in the RDi drop down menus. Especially if I go anywhere near what you both indicate, which, bottom line, is the same thing.

I need a better road map. Sorry to appear so dense. I've only been working in RDi for 15 years, give or take a year or two. And almost exclusively for the past 5 years.

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?
