Am I missing some magic here? To me, this looks like it'll result in MMDD.
Does SQLite convert MMDD date strings?
I would've gone with the original -MM-DD date string that Igor posted.
Thanks!

One tiny simplification: |'-'||substr(DOB,4,2)||'-'| can be replaced
by |substr(DOB,3,4)| making the total command:
update tableName set DOB=substr(DOB,7,4)||substr(DOB,3,4)||substr(DOB,1,2);
