title: Convert column with data MM/DD/YYYY varchar to date in sql server?
body: <p>I've found some similar questions but haven't been able to get anything to work yet. I'm very much a novice with little SQL experience. </p>
  
  <p>I have a column END_DATE as Varchar(10) where all the rows follow the mm/dd/yyyy format and I would like to convert it to date. I have an empty column formatted as date if that helps. There are 36 million rows. </p>
