Subject: Using SQL to convert date

Hi,

Using SQL, I'm trying to figure out how to convert a character field that
contains '27/Aug/2009' into an 8 digit numeric date in the format
20090827. After the conversion, I want to load it into a field in the
same record. I know I can substring out the year and the day. The tough
part is converting the month. Is a CASE statement my only option? TIA
