Re: Date Format in SQL -- WDSCI-L

This may not be related to RDi, but for completeness I think there is a bug in ACS/Run SQL Scripts (RSS) to do with the JDBC configurations. (BTW, with the new ACS v1.1.8.6, the JDBC configurations stuff has moved from CONNECTION to EDIT menu item.)

Within RSS it is possible to have multiple JDBC configurations. A single DEFAULT is provided. If I create a second configuration, (say BRIAN) and set this as the default, it may be ignored. RSS seems to remember the last configuration used, (in this case DEFAULT) instead of the default last set. Unless I am misunderstanding something, this feels like a bug.

I wonder if Duane's problem is linked to this?

Hi Duane,
You can certainly set the Date format on your SQL in ACS
This is part of the JDBC configuration.
Once you are connected, you go to Connection-> Connected - <name> -> Edit
JDBC Configuration <name>

you then get a tabbed preferences dialog. Go to the format tab and then
change the date format and hit Save

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [WDSCI-L] Date Format in SQL
Date: Thu, Dec 10, 2020 10:48 AM
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?
