Re: Date Format in SQL

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think what Jim means is the Run SQL Scripts (RSS) function is not 
>really< part of RDi. It is a component of Access Client Solutions 
(ACS) which is shipped with and linked to RDi - so it's perfectly valid 
to ask the question in the WDSC list. (Many folk would simply use RSS 
directly from ACS - it's quicker.)

However, let's assume you're initiating RSS from RDi, (e.g. right click 
Objects Subsystem and select Launch Run SQL Scripts). An ACS panel 
appears, then you're probably prompted to login. Thereafter the RSS 
window appears.

The menu bar contains the usual FILE, EDIT, VIEW options - and 
importantly the CONNECTION item. Click on this and select JDBC 
CONFIGURATION.

Edit the JDBC configuration you are using, (possibly the default). 
You'll be prompted with a further window. Select the FORMAT item from 
the menu bar. You should find the date Format there.

HTH,
Brian.

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.
