Until we know whether MSSQL *always* returns dates in this fromat via
ODBC, or it is a local configuration issue, we shouldn't commit that
change to DBI::ODBC::Microsoft_SQL_Server.  Hopefully, you can provide
some detail on that?

They do not.

On the linux side (FreeTDS, unixODBC) it returns 2008-01-14 00:00:00.000

On the native side, it returns 2008-01-14 00:00:00 :(

Cheers,


But there is hope. From Yee Olde Books Online.
You can change the date format in an on_connect_do for MSSQL:

SET DATEFORMAT
Sets the order of the dateparts (month/day/year) for entering datetime or smalldatetime data.
Syntax
SET DATEFORMAT { format | @format_var }
Arguments
format | @format_var

Is the order of the dateparts. Can be either Unicode or DBCS converted to 
Unicode. Valid parameters include mdy, dmy, ymd, ydm, myd, and dym. The U.S. 
English default is mdy.

Remarks
This setting is used only in the interpretation of character strings as they 
are converted to date values. It has no effect on the display of date values.

The setting of SET DATEFORMAT is set at execute or run time and not at parse 
time.

Permissions
SET DATEFORMAT permissions default to all users.

Examples
This example uses different date formats to handle date strings in different 
formats.

SET DATEFORMAT mdy
GO
DECLARE @datevar datetime
SET @datevar = '12/31/98'
SELECT @datevar
GO

SET DATEFORMAT ydm
GO
DECLARE @datevar datetime
SET @datevar = '98/31/12'
SELECT @datevar
GO

SET DATEFORMAT ymd
GO
DECLARE @datevar datetime
SET @datevar = '98/12/31'
SELECT @datevar
GO
