Does anyone know how to change the default setting for Date.parse (which ActiveRecord uses in all date fields). I would like the default “comp” for true, so I don't need to consider 2- in my application.

You can overload / disarm an existing method. eg:
class Date class << self alias :parse_with_comp :parse end def self.parse(str='-4712-01-01', sg=ITALY) self.parse_with_comp(str,true,sg) end end
