Question

The field DATE in the database has the following format:

2012-11-12 00:00:00

I would like to remove the time from the date and return the d

Answer 1

Personally, I'd return the full, native datetime value and format this in the client code.

That way, you can use the user's locale setting to give the correct meaning to that user.

"11/12" is ambiguous. Is it:

• 12th November
• 11th December
