thanks Niels! so you are saying this command should work, correct? it
currently does not..
"SELECT str_to_date( '1/1/2014' , '%m/%d/%Y' ) as date"
if i am on windows, do i need to install strptime separately? i am
currently hitting this error that (from the version tracker) seems like it
should've been resolved?
Error in .local(conn, statement, ...) :
Unable to execute statement 'SELECT str_to_date( '1/1/2014' , '%m/%d/%Y'
) as date'.
Server says '!strptime support missing'.

We have the following date/string conversion functions
create function str_to_date(s string, format string) returns date external name mtime."str_to_date";
create function date_to_str(d date, format string) returns string external name mtime."date_to_str";
create function "convert"(s string, format string) returns date external name mtime."str_to_date";
Its based on the unix strftime/strptime (so for the format look at those).

and also
"12/31/2014"
since there are no leading zeroes, the months and days are in different positions so i cannot use something like this to CAST it into a date type.
CAST( SUBSTRING( x , 7 , 10 ) || '-' || SUBSTRING( x , 1 , 2 ) || '-' | | SUBSTRING( x , 4 , 5 ) AS DATE ) AS y
could someone offer advice to convert this string field to date in monetdb? thanks!!
