How can a varchar value like "6.30.11" be converted into date format?

Select CONVERT(DATETIME,REPLACE('6.30.11', '11', '2011'),110)

May be safer to use conversion format 10 instead of 110 to avoid problems when date or month is 11 (such as 11/11/11), as in:


Select CONVERT(DATETIME,'6.30.11',10)
