I have a sql to get data form mysql their I used dateformat to convert date required format Here is the sql

SELECT 
 m.id,
 m.subject,
 m.body,
 m.read,
 m.hide,
 m.thread_id,
 DATE_FORMAT(m.sent_date, '%d-%b-%Y') sent_date,
 u.username to_name
 FROM 
 messages m,
 users u
 WHERE 
 u.school_id = m.school_id AND
 u.id = m.to_user_id AND
 m.school_id = 18 AND
 m.user_id = 53 AND
 m.status = 'sent'
 ORDER BY m.sent_date DESC

When I run this sql directly in mysql it works fine, sent_date comes as (19-Apr-2010). When I excute this in ruby, in result set the sent_date is stores as (Tue Apr 20 00:00:00 UTC 2010)

messages = Message.find_by_sql(sql)
puts messages[0]['sent_date']

puts statement prints "Tue Apr 20 00:00:00 UTC 2010"

how to get same date format in mysql result and ruby result set.

Thanks
