body: <p>How would you parse a date string in format "dd/MM/yyyy" using q kdb?</p>
  
  <p>It is possible when the month argument is first "MM/dd/yyyy" as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"D"$"1/20/2014"
  2014-01-20d
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However if day is first "dd/MM/yyyy" </p>
  
  <pre><code>"D"$"20/1/2014"
  0Nd
  </code></pre>
