What you'll do

In this challenge, you will write several Transact-SQL queries by using implicit and explicit data type conversions.

  1. Launch Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
  2. Develop queries that use implicit data type conversion
  3. Develop more specific queries which use explicit data type conversion
  4. Explore queries that perform data type conversion for date data types and use the CONCAT function for data concatenation
