Description

@jaystarshot

Currently, users must explicitly use the date_parse function (e.g., date_parse(string, '%a-%b-%c') AS DATE) to convert strings into dates.
However, columns often contain a mix of date formats such as yyyy-mm-dd, mm-dd-yyyy and others.

Introducing a function that can automatically detect and parse various date formats into the DATE type would significantly improve usability
