Rails - Mar 2010 - Date Conversion

Can someone help me format the following date into a db-friendly
datetime value?

Here is the date I get from an XML file...
xmldate = "2010-03-31T07:47:46 -500"

But xmldate.to_datetime isn''t handling the timezone...
2010-03-31T07:47:46+00:00

Any ideas how I get to this?...

Hi,

Please, try it:

DateTime.parse("2010-03-31T07:47:46 -500").to_s
