Date Options

The Date Options dialog is used to define one of the following cases during data import:

• You want to import a static date into a database column (e.g. 2014-10-15 or the current date).
• You have a column in your input file that contains a date. In this case you need to define the date format (ref: SimpleDateFormat). As an example, the format for 2014-10-15 is yyyy-MM-dd. All dates in your input file will then be parsed with this date format before insertion into the database.
