I assume there might be SQL functionality that can handle this, though it might be quite a bit harder. That question might be best answered by looking into external SQL reference sites, though.

Can you clarify - do you need to do this conversion in SQL itself or can it be converted in Appian before being passed to the DB? If it can be parsed in Appian, it would be pretty straightforward to build a parser rule that breaks up the timestamp string into component parts and feeds it into a rule like "datetime()", and returns an Appian Date/Time value.

Hi, You can use convert() function probably once you are doing in db.one more thing you can do is, Before dumping it to db table , format the column as well into date time from string. In this case you wont have to convert in DB.
