Imagine a database table where dates were saved as strings from raw user input. Then do migration to other database with table where dates are datetime.

Yep. That's me. 😶

I hate humans. 😧🔫

Especially those who try to be original like:
11|Sept.|2016 or 13;Juni;17

There are rules in this world, damn. 😥

    Might not be popular, but have you considered parsing it using php? It's a fucking miracle what the DateTime class is able to parse sometimes...

    Any private channel where I can give you my number or you have it?
