Subject: SQL join date field with numeric field

Hi,

I need to join 2 tables, newtable and oldtable, using a date.
In the old table, the date has been stored as a numeric value like this
: 20101231

I could join by extracting the year month and day from the new table and
calculating a similar numeric representation, but is there a way of
using the date function on the numeric value in the oldtable to give me
a real date?

Thanks
