How to convert from string to datetime MSSQL?
-- SQL Server string to date / datetime conversion - datetime string format sql server
-- MSSQL string to datetime conversion - convert char to date - convert varchar to date
-- Subtract 100 from style number (format) for yy instead yyyy (or ccyy with century)
