Database created date?

I was wondering, is it possible to find out the date when database was
created, using T-SQL?
I know sp_helpdb returns created date, but it's char(11) type and not much
use because of different regional settings.
Thanks in advance,
Martin.Hi Martin,
I think that if you take a look into sysdatabases allocated in Master you'll
obtain that information.

SELECT create_date FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = 'pubs'
In 2000, use sysdatabases in master instead.
