Answer 1

@juergenD is right, the string 20,18-06-12 10:34:09 AM is not a date string. Is the 20 part of the insert? if so your table definition is off. I expect a copy-paste error here...

Additionally: When i try your query on my machine, it still gives an error converting to date. If I change the dates to the format yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss AM it does work. Might be to do with local settings though.
