I'm working with an accounting database that stores order dates as a varchar
(8) field. An example would be "20100420".
Obviously, CF's dateformat chokes when used. 

Short of using a bunch of cfset statements with CF functions, how can I (in
SQL preferrably or CF) easily format this string to "04/20/2010"?

Thanks, Che
