title: How to specify a SQL fixed day to work in all countries/languages
body: <p>I would like to run a SQL Insert that contains a fixed date. But it needs to work in all countries irrespective of regional settings and languages.</p>
  <p>So, I was hoping this will work:</p>
  <pre><code>INSERT INTO MyDate (TheDate)
  VALUES ('10-JAN-2021')
  </code></pre>
  <p>It works well, but only in some countries/languages. In Japan/China it gives an error that it can't parse the string to a date.</p>
  <p>What is a better generic solution for hard coded dates?</p>
