jchd Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 You can as well do that formatting in your SELECT, leaving the burden to the SQL engine which is likely hundreds of times faster than doing the same formatting in AutoIt. Select ... substr(mydate, 1, 4) || '/' || substr(mydate, 5, 2) || '/' || substr(mydate, 7, 2) as FormatDate, ... FROM mytable ... where || is your SQL concatenation operator.
