SQL Date Format
Hello Experts,
I have a SQL SELECT with the following condition:
...AND paymentDate >= '6/20/2012' AND paymentDate <= '7/4/2012'
paymentDate is actually a varchar.
The issue is that my statement does not returns the correct data, and after some digging, I have found that the values in paymentDate are sometimes 2010-04-30 and other times 7/13/2010.
I know that within my SQL SELECT I can take care of it by using I think CAST, but I not exactly sure how to go about doing it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You could use a statement like below to find all bad dates in that table:
select * from table_name where isdate(paymentDate ) = 0
