pymssql and date format

hi
i am using pymmsql to query a date column in MSSQL database table.
However the result shows for example
(datetime.datet ime(2006, 2, 16, 17, 50, 19) which is supposed to be
2006-02-16 17:50:19.000
anyway to correct query a date column using pymssql so that it gives
the correct date format? thanks

It doesn't return a format, it returns a value. I presume you are saying
that you don't like the way the value prints? Use str() on it:
str(datetime.da tetime(2006, 2, 16, 17, 50, 19))

'2006-02-16 17:50:19'

regards
Steve

Is there anyway to change/set the timeout setting on a pymssql DB connection?? I...

I have a strange problem : some code that fetches queries from an mssql database works fine under Idle but the very same code run from a shell window obtains its strings garbled as if the encoding codepage was modified. This occurs only when using pymssql to connect; if I connect through odbc (using the odbc module included in pywin) this problem vanishes. I briefly thought sys.getdefaultencoding() would pin it down but the value is...
