Convert varchar into datetime in SQL Server

by

OP wants mmddyy and a plain convert will not work for that:

select convert(datetime,'12312009')

Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in 
an out-of-range datetime value

so try this:

DECLARE @Date char(8)
set @Date="12312009"
SELECT CONVERT(datetime,RIGHT(@Date,4)+LEFT(@Date,2)+SUBSTRING(@Date,3,2))

OUTPUT:

-----------------------
2009-12-31 00:00:00.000
