CREATE TABLE Customer_test ( customer_Id BIGINT NOT NULL, DOB DATE NULL DEFAULT '01-01-1970', Gender NVARCHAR(250) NULL, city_code NVARCHAR(250) NULL ) INSERT INTO CUSTOMER_test (customer_Id, DOB, Gender, city_code) VALUES (270181, '01/10/1970', 'F', 2), (268073, '01/11/1970', 'M', 1), (273216, '15-01-1970', 'F', 5)
I get this error:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.

Answer
You should convert varchar
to Date
along with REPLACE
by this way
CONVERT(datetime, REPLACE('01/11/1970', '/', '-'), 103)
