I had some similar probles with dates, and i solved it using a
string format (yyyymmdd) to set date format, and two functions (toString
and toDate) made by myself inf the necesary language (asp, php, jsp....)

This format is full valid for comparations (>, <, =) and orders in
SQL. The only problem is to work in your application, but it may be
solved with some functions
