A simpler way to get random data that doesn't involve the sqldf package, and
gets different x values for each date:
df <- data.frame(t = seq.Date(as.Date("2009-01-01"), to=as.Date("2009-12-01"),
by="month"), x=rnorm(60))

You are converting your dates to a factor, so they are no longer dates. I'm
guessing you did this to get a separate boxplot for each date, but that is not
the right way to do that. Use the "group" aesthetic to make different groups.
qplot(df$t, df$x, geom = "boxplot", group=df$t) + theme_bw()

qplot(df$t, df$x, geom = "boxplot", group=df$t) + theme_bw() +
scale_x_date(major = "months", minor = "weeks", format = "%b")
> qplot(factor(df$t), df$x, geom = "boxplot") + theme_bw() +
> scale_x_date(format = "%b")
qplot(df$t, df$x, geom = "boxplot", group=df$t) + theme_bw() +
scale_x_date(format = "%b")
