Date formatting is one of the key skills you’ll learn as you progress as a data engineer. In the old days, it could be a hassle for you to get a particular format. Every country and client site seems to use a different format, and it can wreak havoc with even well-written code. For SQL Server, things have gotten better since SQL Server 2012, when a new function called “Format” started to be used alongside the traditional way of getting date formats which is a function called “Convert”. Find out these two ways of formatting your dates in this episode! Want to get access to premium content made just for you and have a chat with me?
