Hi Dan, if you have a recent version of FreeTDS (something later than
the original 0.53 release itself), you should be able to fix this simply
by adjusting your /usr/local/freetds/etc/locales.conf file to read
something
like:

[default]
        date format = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

[en_US]
        date format = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
        language = us_english
        char set = iso_1

If you don't already have such a file (it might be in a different
location than mine), you probably need to upgrade to the latest version
which will include such a file in the distribution.

Hope this works for you,
Eric
