    This is nice. I haven't really understood why was PARSE introduced and this gave me a better understanding. Some might argue that it wasn't needed while others will be forever thankful for it.

    I didn't know there was a plain PARSE() function but it makes sense that it would also exist.  Thanks for the detailed explanation.

    I think a function that merits mention in the article is TRY_PARSE() (this is the function that I was familiar with).  It's quite useful when you don't want data errors to kill your query or stored procedure, much like C#'s (data type).tryparse() functions!

    Hi Stux,
    Thanks for the feedback.
    I'm working on a separate article for TRY_PARSE, should be available on SSC in the next month or two.
