ActiveRecord uses default date format to update database

Description

Not 100% sure this is a defect (it may be intended), but I changed the default formatting of dates (as described in http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToDefineYourOwnDateFormat/). However, this format is also the one used by ActiveRecord to write in my database. This works fine as long as the default format is the :db format, but it doesn't understand my format, so no date is inserted in the database.

  • version changed from 0.14.3 to 1.1.1.

I just got bitten by this. Why doesn't the insert code just always use the :db format rather than :default?
