Exercise

Changing the date format

Remember that SQL Server can interpret character strings that look like dates in a different way than you would expect. Depending on your settings, the string "29-04-2019" could be interpreted as the 29th of April, or an error can be thrown that the conversion to a date was not possible. In the first situation, SQL Server expects a day-month-year format, while in the second, it probably expects a month-day-year and the 29th month does not exist.

In this exercise, you will instruct SQL Server what kind of date format you want to use.
