comp.lang.ruby

Not really a Ruby question, but...

Hello,
I'm using a Ruby script to grab some data from an Oracle database via
an ODBC connection. Everything works great, but I want to select a
certain date range when I query the database. However, the date is in a
different format, I think. The Oracle field type is "date". How would I
be able to format a date like 05/20/2008 so that I can compare it with
the date field in Oracle?

Thanks,
- Jeff Miller
