When I’m generating my database scripts for my project I’d like to manage the date format that is used in the comments in the SQLScript.

I have my regional settings set to Australian format, but they seem to be disregarded.

Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management
...
        Dim scr As Smo.Scripter
        Dim opt As Smo.ScriptingOptions

...
        opt = New Smo.ScriptingOptions
        opt.???? =  //Is there something that I can set to control the date?
        opt.Encoding = Encoding.ASCII
        opt.DriAll = True
        opt.ClusteredIndexes = True
        opt.Default = True
        opt.Indexes = True
        opt.IncludeHeaders = True
        opt.AppendToFile = True

Results in a script with comments that look like this… Note the date is in US Format. 

    /****** Object:  Table [dbo].[AAAExampleData]    Script Date: 06/17/2009 10:08:38 ******/
    SET ANSI_NULLS ON

I know that the Comments are only for readability, but I’d like complete control over my output.

If it’s not possible, please just say that.

    I recommend that you report this to Microsoft as a bug: http://connect.microsoft.com/sqlserver/. Search first to see if someone else has reported this. It’s likely that someone who is not an English speaker will have reported this; you’re only looking to change the order of fields, others need the language and character set to change!

    Once you’ve entered a bug report, please edit your question to include a link to it. That we, interested parties can vote on your bug report.
