Well... it depends. If server return (SMALL)DATETIME column FreeTDS
format it to ODBC format (the same you reported) if column is converted
by mssql you should check mssql documentation (tsql, cast, convert, set
dateformat...). I don't know if DBD::ODBC have options to set date
format for DATETIME... MS ODBC driver have an option to use system
setting to format data as system settings; FreeTDS don't have such
option for simplicity, and it do not even support precision setting on
date.
