I have a date of birth field that was imported with a few errors and I’m trying to correct them. I’m using the query

UPDATE myTable
SET DOB=2012-04-10
WHERE id=123456

And I am getting the error 

Msg 206, Level 16, Line 1
Operand type clash: int is incompatible with date

This seems logical enough to me, but not to SQL Server, any idea on how to fix this?

    You need to put an apostrophe around the date:

    UPDATE myTable
SET DOB='2012-04-10'
WHERE id=123456
