How the database stores the date isn't really any of your business -
chances are that it's not stored as a string at all. What you're
seeing is probably just the Date classes default to_s method (which
again bears little relationship to how instances of Date store their
value) When you get a date out of the database it's up to you to
format it the way you want it before display (eg use strftime)/
