MySQL takes dates as YYYY-M-D for example if you do this :

  Select date("2012-9-6");

it will give :

  2012-09-06

but if you do this :

  Select date("6/9/2012");

it will give :

  null

now my question is :
is there a method in MySQL to accept dates in custom formats ??

something like :

  select date("6/9/2012","d/m/yyyy"); -- That gives : 2012-09-06 NOT null

    SELECT STR_TO_DATE( '04/31/2004', '%m/%d/%Y' ) ;
    

    This one works. But the order is month/day/year

    More info in the manual.
