  7. Set date value from string
    Date  :: Date ( odaba::String &sDate )

    The function sets the date value from the string date passed in sDate. When no date format has been set, the date format is detected automatically from string value as follows:

    • contains '.' - DD.MM.YYYY or DD.MM.YY
    • contains '/' - MM/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YY
    • contains '-' - YYYY-MM-DD or YY-MM-DD
    • else - YYYYMMDD or YYMMDD
    • sDate - Date value in string format

      Date values can be passed in different ways as string value:

              Standard: yyyy-mm-dd or yyyymmdd

              English:     mm/dd/yyyy

              German:     dd.mm.yyyy

      The type of date is determined from the separator used.
