Subject: What determines the date/time format for SELECT statements in Rails?

If I issue a select statement on a table containing
date/time/datetime/timestamp columns (type depends on backend DB)can I
guarantee that the returned formatted output from the corresponding
ActiceRecord column will always be the same regardless of the backend
DB.

The format appears to be 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'; what sets up the
format and can I change it?

Thanks
