my dates changed to a several digits combination - Sql Server : I have a column in my DB named `BirthDate`.
SomeHow (Unfortunately I can't say how and why) the dates became just to several digits and the column type is now `char`.
Sorry I can't tell more since it's a new project for me, and I just got some assignments to do.

For instance, a date now represented as : 081101 (and it's not 08/11/2001 , that's for sure)

Any chance I can get back to original? what are these digits at all? any clue?
