Solution 3

Depending on SQL server date format conversion may failed or may succeed.

Try to use SET DATEFORMAT[^] command before SELECT statement.

SQL

SET DATEFORMAT ymd;
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, VarcharField) AS MyDateTime

So don't store dates as strings: it always gives problems.
Store data in "proper" column datatypes: integers in INT, Dates in DATETIME. That way you know the data in your db is always correct - because if it wasn't, it wouldn't be there.

Storing everything in NVARCHAR columns seems easy, but it gives huge problems down the line as you are starting to see.

Bite the bullet and correct your whole DB now, at this early stage - becasue if you leave it too long you will have a large body of code / data which you can;t do anything with!
