Sorry, I don't know. I just wanted to point out that there are different
ways to interpret a date string and that you should make sure that your
date string is actually interpreted the way you intend. How you choose
to do this is up to you: try it out in your DB (recommended), read docs,
ask here, ...

You could for example try this:

select cast ('6.11.2011 08:35:26' as timestamp) from rdb$database
select cast ('6.30.2011 08:35:26' as timestamp) from rdb$database
select cast ('30.6.2011 08:35:26' as timestamp) from rdb$database

Kjell,

Doesn’t using the dot separator imply that non us date formats are being used? i.e. 07/11/2011 is interpreted as MM/DD/YYYY while 07.11.2011 is interpreted as DD/MM/YYYY?
