In this challenge, you will write several Transact-SQL queries by using implicit and explicit data type conversions. First, you will launch Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, and then you will develop queries that use implicit data type conversion. Next, you will develop more specific queries which use explicit data type conversion. Finally, you will explore queries that perform data type conversion for date data types and use the CONCAT function for data concatenation. Note: Once you begin a challenge you will not be able to pause, save, or return to your progress. Please ensure you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge before you start.
