I found some old messages about this, but can't find a solution. The default rails date format for postgres is yyyy-mm-dd. While I have no problem with this, users who were trained after the millennium non- event are pretty entrenched in mm/dd/yyyy.
You can set the default date format in environment.rb to Date::DATE_FORMATS[:default] = "%m/%d/%Y" At least in rails3 and it nicely formats the dates in that format. But if you enter a date in that format, it will set it to nil. If you have validation on the date, it will fail. I think postgres can be set to different options but don't know how to do that globally. Is there any solution to setting rails to get and put dates using mm/ dd/yyyy?
