Because im reading data from another source which is always going to be
in this format, and then inserting into the database.
Thought if there was a way I could escape having to change the format
before I insert into mysql...
Sorry abt the high importance, it was turned on by default in my editor.

That's a different story.
Question though: why?
Read some docs:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Date_and_time_types.html
btw, why is your e-mail "important" or "high priority" to me or the
list?
