Assuming that your import code has something similar to:
insert into tbl_inventory(item_id,purchase_date)
values(1,"2008 7 22 {} {} {} {DD MONTH YYYY}")
I would change it to something like:
insert into tbl_inventory(item_id,purchase_date)
values(1,regexp_replace('2008 7 22 {} {} {} {DD MONTH YYYY}','{.+}
*','','g')::date);
