SQL Server: learned that you can pass a Style to CAST and CONVERT (Transact-SQL)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/19
Funny way to learn something new:
I hardly use CAST and CONVERT (Transact-SQL), and when I do, it is the standard SQL-92 way.
But a while ago, I came across some code like this:
CONVERT(DATETIME, "31/12/2013", 105);
and wondered what the 105 was.
And it appeared to convert from the Italian date format to DateTime. And that it has been there since at least SQL Server 2000, probably earlier.
Not sure why the passed slashes (/) in stead of dashes (-) as separators though.
There are styles for these groups of conversions:
- Binary
- Date/Time
- Float/Real
- Money/Smallmoney
- XML
Never to old to learn something new (:

When http:://Feedly.com doesn’t start with any more: start it through https://Feedly.com (via: @feedly your news. delivered.)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/16
Recently when starting Feedly through http://feedly.com, I got this message in Chrome on my Retina MacBook Pro:
Is feedly blocked?
Feedly is not able to load. It is probably because one of your extensions is blocking it. If you run Adblock, HTTPSEverywhere, Awesome screenshot etc.. please make sure that feedly.com is white listed.
I paused AdBlock: same thing. I don’t use HTTPSEverywhere or the other tools mentioned.
Solution: start using https://feedly.com. Since I prefer https anyway, I can live with that (: Read the rest of this entry »
