[firebird-support] Date literals

[grenzhan...@yahoo.com [firebird-support]]

Hi, I'm in the progress of converting an existing application from Sybase SQL 
(11.0.3 - from the stoneage) to Firebird.From Sybase (as well as some other 
databases I work with) I'm used to entering date literals as 'yyyymmdd'.I keep 
getting "Overflow occured during data type conversion".Is it true, that this 
date format isn't recognized by firebird?Which is the most common date format, 
can you recommend any format?Thanks Lutz
