Problem Description:
--------------------
In a date entered as '01-02-03' the last number is used for
the year but entering '33-04-05' the first number is used
for the year.
It turns out that if the first number is a valid day number
(1 to 31) it is used as the day. Otherwise it is used as a
two digit year.

Test Case:
----------
create table test (dt date);
insert into test values('01-02-03');
insert into test values('33-04-05');
insert into test values('28-06-07');
select * from test;
