I want to insert a date like 31.12.2021 in SQL, and I get something wrong
what should I write to make it works?
In sql-server you can use convert(varchar, [date you want to convert], 104) if your column is a date datatype as shown in microsoft sql-server cast and convert docs.

I am trying to convert a column FC_FROM_DATE containing decimal values (ex. 20,200,721) into a date format 2020/07/21.
I have tried this code
SELECT TO_DATE(CHAR(CAST(FC_FROM_DATE AS DECIMAL(8,0))), 'YYYY/MM/DD')
FROM MARKETS.FORECAST
I get an error
Argument for chr should be between 0 and 127
Would much appreciate your help!
If you are using Oracle then you can use the following query:
SELECT TO_DATE(CAST(FC_FROM_DATE AS VARCHAR(8), 'YYYY/MM/DD') FROM Table
Seeing as the persisted format is YYYYMMDD you could convert the value to a varchar(8) and then use CONVERT to get a Date instance.
SELECT CONVERT(DATE, CAST(FC_FROM_DATE AS VARCHAR(8))) FROM MARKETS.FORECAST
Ideally Dates are stored as Date and a Date with a time component is stored as DATETIME2 (or equivalent if not Sql Server).
Test of the code above
DECLARE #FC_FROM_DATE decimal(8,0) = 20200721
SELECT CONVERT(DATE, CAST(#FC_FROM_DATE AS VARCHAR(8)))
2020-07-21
Disclaimer: This works in MS Sql Server.
I have a table that contains date and the format is :'01-16-1989' which is mm-dd-yyyy but I want to insert to another table that has format like this: '1989-01-16' which is yyyy-mm-dd. What function can I use in the insert statement to do this?
insert into des_table
select date from source_table
How to update the second line in order to finish the date format conversion?
You can convert a string from mm-dd-yyyy format to a date using conversion type 110:
select convert(date, [date], 110)
from source_table
You can then convert this back to a string in the yyyy-mm-dd format using code 120:
select convert(varchar(10), convert(date, [date], 110), 121)
You can format date with DATE_FORMAT()
This is one way
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date, '%Y-%m-%d') FROM source_table;

Unless they are not actually datetime data types, your insert should be golden as it is.
Also, to answer this you should tell us what RDBMS you are using.
If you are using MySQL this should get you covered:
select DATE_FORMAT(current_date,'%y/%m/%d');
On the dates note you should keep all your dates
ISO formated
Since your column is already a DATE you don't need to do any conversions on the insert. If you want it to look a certain way in a specific query result, you can use CONVERT. There are many format options, but again, you don't need to bother with changing how it looks on the insert.

I'm trying to convert a DateTime field (Date of Birth), within the an SELECT FROM that needs to work for SQL CE and SQL Access databases.
I've found a thread that shows me that it can be done, but not the formate I want it to be. Does anyone know how I can change this to show yyyy-mm-dd format not mm/dd/yyyy
SELECT CONVERT(nvarchar(10), C.DOB,101) FROM table
You can use the following query
SELECT CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10), C.DOB, 120) AS FormatedDate FROM Table
I've been able to find how I can do it. Its using the convert function, but the code passed into it is different
So to get the correct format, I need the below code
CONVERT(nvarchar(10), A.TestDate,21)
enter link description here
I have to change the datetime format for a given string in a SQL query.
The database is SQL Server 2005, the column is of type nvarchar(1024).
Atm the data is like 2014-05-21, given the date from today as example.
I should write a script in which I can convert from 2014-05-21 to 21.05.2014.
What will be the fastest / easiest way to do this?
You can give a try as below :-
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 104) AS [DD.MM.YYYY]

I am working in SQL Server 2008 R2
I need to convert a varchar(50) field in a view to a date format.
I have a view that uses the following to create the field delivered_date:
convert(varchar(50),[delvd_dt],110) as [delivered_date]
The formatted field looks like : 2012-03-11 16:24:42.0000000
I need the results to be a date so that I can check for dates within a range. I would prefer to do it within the view so that I can use SSRS to create the range for the report.
Have you tried cast()? The following returns the right date for me:
select CAST('2012-03-11 16:24:42.0000000' as DATE)
Perhaps you can simply truncate the millis and use CONVERT:
SELECT Convert(datetime, LEFT('2012-03-11 16:24:42.0000000', 19), 102) AS [Date]
Demo
This works even in MS SQL-Server 2005.
CAST and CONVERT (Transact-SQL)
Try this link website shows several formatting options.
Example:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 105)
