See the SQL "DATE" function. Concatenate the fields you have into ISO
date string format. Example DATE('2009-01-30').

Subject: Convert YYMMDD to Date in SQL
A vendor provides the date in four fields C (1 or 0), YY (2 digits), MM,
DD.
I want to take them and convert it to a DATE field in SQL. Apparently
YYMMDD is not a good Google search term and I can't find decent sample
of this. I know how to join the fields into a single field to YYMMDD or
MMDDYY but it's the process of converting that to a DATE field that I am
having problems with. Any ideas?
I just may add 20 to the YY and let some poor fool fix it in 90 years.
The file only contains data for the current year so no worrying about
1900s.
