How to convert the following oracle statement to MS-SQL
(1) select TO_DATE(MTH_NO||'-'||YR_NO,'MM-YYYY') FROM MyTable
(2) SELECT NVL2(CURR_TM_MTH,TO_DATE(CURR_TM_MTH,'MM-YYYY'),SYSDATE) FROM MyTable

PS Sample data: MTH_No = 2 (means feb)
YR_NO = 1998
CURR_TM_MTH = 02-1998 (means mm-yyyy)

Do you want pure date value or formatted value?

select DATEADD(month,month_no-1,dateadd(year,year_no-1900,0)) from your_table

Let the front end do format it like mm-yyyy
