I have legacy system where all date fields are maintained in YMD format. Example:
20101123
this is date: 11/23/2010
I'm looking for most optimal way to convert from number to date field.
Here is what I came up with:
declare @ymd int
set @ymd = 20101122
select @ymd, convert(datetime, cast(@ymd as varchar(100)), 112)
This is pretty good solution but I'm wandering if someone has better way doing it
