我花了一分钟才弄明白，所以在这里它可能会帮助到别人:

在SQL Server 2012和更好的版本中，你可以使用这个函数:

SELECT DATEFROMPARTS(2013, 8, 19);

下面是我如何将日期的部分提取到这个函数中:

select
DATEFROMPARTS(right(cms.projectedInstallDate,4),left(cms.ProjectedInstallDate,2),right( left(cms.ProjectedInstallDate,5),2)) as 'dateFromParts'
from MyTable

这段代码解决了我的问题:

convert(date,YOUR_DATE,104)

如果你使用时间戳，你可以你下面的代码:

convert(datetime,YOUR_DATE,104)

在MSSQL中隐式转换字符串到日期时间

create table tmp 
(
  ENTRYDATETIME datetime
);

insert into tmp (ENTRYDATETIME) values (getdate());
insert into tmp (ENTRYDATETIME) values ('20190101');  --convert string 'yyyymmdd' to datetime


select * from tmp where ENTRYDATETIME > '20190925'  --yyyymmdd 
select * from tmp where ENTRYDATETIME > '20190925 12:11:09.555'--yyyymmdd HH:MIN:SS:MS

用这个:

SELECT convert(datetime, '2018-10-25 20:44:11.500', 121) -- yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.mmm

转换代码请参考官方文档中的表格。

本页包含CONVERT函数可用的所有指定日期时间转换的一些引用。如果您的值不属于可接受的模式之一，那么我认为最好的方法是采用ParseExact路线。

If you want SQL Server to try and figure it out, just use CAST CAST('whatever' AS datetime) However that is a bad idea in general. There are issues with international dates that would come up. So as you've found, to avoid those issues, you want to use the ODBC canonical format of the date. That is format number 120, 20 is the format for just two digit years. I don't think SQL Server has a built-in function that allows you to provide a user given format. You can write your own and might even find one if you search online.
