James, there is actually already an active thread currently discussing the various issues of Solr's date format going on, with a lot of details about the various places formatting might be different, and the issues involved with allowing more configuration, you may want to catchu pp with that thread and reply there...
http://www.nabble.com/dates---times-tf3722932.html The short answer is: at the moment no there is no mechanim for customizing the Solr format, but the Format is a very universal one, and i would be extremely suprised if it were not possible to get MySQL to format dates in that way. : MS SQL database have one date format : : solr have one date format : : web page show have one date format : : why not user config date format, solr read date format rule, : : maybe like this, http://cn2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php : : now solr 1.1 date format is YYYY/MM/DD H:I:S? : : : : : : : : : -- : regards : jl : -Hoss
