So, on the second server, you do not get a date time from SQL, but a string.
Seems to me that either the tables are set up differently, or there is
some change in the sql libraries.

I should also take this time to remind you that you are using very old
versions, which have serious amounts of bugs fixed in later versions.
But, yes, upgrading to newer versions is a lot of work.
