@intoleranse God bedring til deg og dine!

[Lars Martin Bredal @lbredal]

@cnordbakk Haha, could be :)

SELECT TRY_CONVERT(date, 'a')
-- returns NULL

SELECT TRY_CONVERT(date, '')
- returns 1900-01-01

SELECT TRY_CONVERT(date, ' ')
- returns 1900-01-01

What's so special about an empty string or a whitespace?

[Lars Martin Bredal @lbredal]

@runeo34 @jasondunn @SQLSatOslo Wow!

[Lars Martin Bredal @lbredal]

@vestergaardj God bedring, Jens!

[Lars Martin Bredal @lbredal]

@intoleranse Endelig!

Gratulerer så mye, Johan Ludvig! :) :D :O

[Lars Martin Bredal @lbredal]

@Ko_Ver That is indeed interesting, hehe. And maybe slightly counter-intuitive.

I guess the note to take from this is that we should always be very mindful when dealing with empty strings.

[Lars Martin Bredal @lbredal]

@Ko_Ver At least an interesting tidbit :)

I was reading TRY_CONVERT at SQL Docs (https://t.co/cxKd77Gh7r) and was sure it could be used the way I wanted it to.

But yes, I should have known, should've known.

[Lars Martin Bredal @lbredal]

@cathrinew Gratulerer så mye med dagen, Cathrine! :)

[Lars Martin Bredal @lbredal]

@BarMartland I know!

[Lars Martin Bredal @lbredal]

I just started trying out SSMS' dark theme, and I must admit I'm looking forward to it getting darker 🕶️

Denne notisen fra @nrknyheter er det eneste jeg har sett i store norske medier i dag om stortingsbehandling av ny lov om Etteretningstjenesten, som i dag ble vedtatt. Dette medfører "masseovervåkning av norske borgere" (sitat @Datatilsynet). Hvor er resten av medie-Norge?
