Exercise

Convert imported data to dates with time zones

Now that we have seen the three type-safe conversion functions, we can begin to apply them against real data sets. In this scenario, we will parse data from the dbo.ImportedTime table. We used a different application to load data from this table and looked at it in a prior exercise. This time, we will retrieve data for all rows, not just the ones the importing application marked as valid.
