parse it into a Date as it writes it to the database? If so that is
generally very dangerous. It is much better to parse it yourself into
a Date so that you can be sure you are interpreting the input
correctly, and can cope with parse errors. Then pass the Date to
ActiveRecord. Or perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are doing.
ActiveRecord typically does a great job in typecasting, handling exceptions, and validation so I'm not sure what you mean. Though, this is probably a different discussion altogether since my original question was just how to tweak the options for the current parsing that ActiveRecord is already doing.
