Parse strings to dates
Changing our language for data loading is not always feasible. Instead of using the SET LANGUAGE syntax, we can instead use the PARSE() function to parse a string as a date type using a specific locale.
We will once again use the dbo.Dates table, this time parsing all of the dates as German using the de-de locale.
