        * src/odbc/odbc.c: fix date format
        * src/tds/convert.c: fix date approximation

perhaps is related to DBD::ODBD fixes (seeing near changes)?? I don't
know... there must be a reason but I don't really remember. I think is
better to find your problem and try to fix it. Which is the correct
bahavior?? Using ODBC 3 you can set precision that for date is the
number of digits, this is not yet implemented. Which is the default? I
think the date format is used only converting date to char that is
binding date to a char and doing a simple select that return date... Am
I wrong?
