Did you mean to use DATE_FORMAT rather than just FORMAT?

Also the format needs to be specified using % notation so the corrected version of your example would be

DATE_FORMAT(dCreatedDate, '%Y-%m-%d')

You can find a list of the specifiers you can use in the format string in the MySQL documentation on Date and Time Functions.

        -> 'Sunday October 2009'
mysql> SELECT DATE_FORMAT('2007-10-04 22:23:00', '%H:%i:%s');
        -> '22:23:00'
