Answer 1

The conversion in SQL server fails sometimes not because of the Date or Time formats used, It is Merely because you are trying to store wrong data that is not acceptable to the system.

Example:

Create Table MyTable (MyDate);

Insert Into MyTable(MyDate) Values ('2015-02-29');

The SQL server will throw the following error:

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.

The reason for this error is simply there is no such date (Feb-29) in Year (2015).
