Changing the default language
The language set in SQL Server can influence the way character strings are interpreted as dates.
Changing the language automatically updates the date format.
In this exercise, you will analyze the impact of the SET LANGUAGE command on some practical examples.
You will select between the English, Croatian, and Dutch language, taking into account that they use the following formats:
| Language | Date format |
|---|---|
| English | mdy |
| Croatian | ymd |
| Dutch | dmy |
