title: MySQL date formats - difficulty Inserting a date
body: <p>I am trying to further a question I asked yesterday where I wanted to know how to query a date in a different format. But now I am trying to do an insert using this method (see below) however I can't get it to work. I have checked the manual but it is not beginner friendly!</p>
  
  <pre><code>INSERT INTO custorder VALUES ('Kevin','yes'), STR_TO_DATE('1-01-2012', '%d-%m-%Y');
  </code></pre>
