Subject: [ruby-core:48140] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5906][Rejected] CSV converter option fails in case of :date_time


Issue #5906 has been updated by JEG2 (James Gray).

Status changed from Assigned to Rejected
% Done changed from 0 to 100

The converters do work, just not on the date format you gave them.

Your format is ambiguous.  Should we treat it as month-day-year as it would be in the U.S. or day-month-year as it would be in the U.K.?  Because we can't know, we don't support that format by default.  The year-month-day format is supported, plus month name, day year.  These are chosen because they are unambiguous.

If you need to support a different format, just add your own converter.  You will know how your dates look, so it's easy for you to parse it correctly.

I hope that makes sense.
