• Here is another way of doing this.

    declare @dt nvarchar(6)

    set @dt = '022500'

    select stuff(stuff(@dt, 3, 0, '/'), 6, 0, '/' + case when cast(right(@dt,2) as int) >= 70 then '19' else '20' end)

    The biggest take away from this is that you should ALWAYS use the datetime datatype for datetime values. Using a varchar for dates just doesn't make sense. You don't store numbers in a varchar, I don't know why so many people store dates in a varchar.
