I have a little task to do and I need to get ddmmyyyy format for my DateTime values in SQL Server.
I tried to do it with this code
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 104)
and it works fine, but it returns dd.mm.yyyy or 01.11.2021. I need it to be 01112021 but I can't achieve this yet.
I am using this link for getting datetime format codes but I can't find any code that really helps me achieve my goal.
There's no exact match for the required format you need - you can either use
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar(20), SYSDATETIME(), 104), '.', '')
(use what you had and just strip out the . after first step of formatting)
or you can use FORMAT which is available in SQL Server 2012 and newer:
SELECT FORMAT(SYSDATETIME(), 'ddMMyyyy')
There is no defined format that fulfills your request. However, you can use the 'Replace' function to strip your value from date separators.
select replace(convert(varchar, getdate(),104),'.','')
OR use the newer FORMAT function (SQL server 2012+)
SELECT FORMAT(getdate(), 'ddMMyyyy')
You can use replace function to complete it.
select replace(convert(varchar, getdate(), 104),'.','')

I'd like to convert a date to a string as 'mmddyy' in SQL Server. What I'm looking for is essentially what Excel can do with TEXT.
Thanks
Depending on your version (2012 and up), FORMAT would do the trick.
SELECT FORMAT(GETDATE(), 'ddMMyy');
Here is another way to get that formatted date. You can use CONVERT function. You can use it like below :
select replace(convert(varchar, getdate(), 5),'-','')
Here is the SQL
I want to convert the column (EXECUTION_LOCAL_DATE_TIME) which has datetime format as (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.nnnnnnn) to format (YYYY-MM-DD). Ho do i get this. I am working on SQL server management studio
If your intention is to just get the DATE part of a DATETIME then you can just convert the format to DATE (note that this will return a 'Date' datatype, not specifically formatted to a string 'YYYY-MM-DD'.)
eg:
DECLARE #Dt DATETIME = '2019-01-25T12:00:00'
SELECT CONVERT(DATE, #Dt)
Will return '2019-01-25'
You want the CAST() function:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/cast-and-convert-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017
Ideally you should return the datetime format from your query and let your presentation layer handle formatting.
However if you are using SQL server 2012 or higher then you can use the Format() function. See the below answer:
Convert Date format into DD/MMM/YYYY format in SQL Server
If you're using SQL Server 2012 or higher you can use the FORMAT() function.
In your case you'd need
SELECT FORMAT(EXECUTION_LOCAL_DATE_TIME, 'yyyy-MM-dd') FROM TABLE_NAME

Here Is the Code Worked For me
SELECT convert(varchar, EXECUTION_LOCAL_DATE_TIME, 111) from Tablename
The Execution_Local_Date_Time will be Converted to yyyy/mm/dd format.

2015-03-17
what statement should be added with query to get the result.
help me from this problem.
Just use convert():
select convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 121)
Just have a look to the following link. which provides more conversion options.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx
In SQL Server 2012 onward you may use FORMAT() which is a bit more intuitive than recalling style numbers.
e.g.
select FORMAT( GETDATE() , 'yyyy-MM-dd' )
see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-AU/library/hh213505.aspx
however do note the second parameter is case sensitive
'yyyy-MM-dd' works
'YYYY-MM-DD' would only work for the MM
I have a date saved in the format DD/MM/YYYY from a flat file. "20/04/2013"
When I try to insert it into my SQL Server database it changes the value to MM/DD/YYYY.
So of course there in no month 20 and my code fail. How can I work around this?
I have tried stuff like this and I had no luck.
SELECT CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(varchar, '20/04/2013', 101))
just do this directly,
SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '20/04/2013', 103)
On SQL Server you need to use the SET DATEFORMAT option. (See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189491.aspx).
In your case, you would need to issue the following command before executing the above SELECT-statement:
SET DATEFORMAT dmy
Alternatively, it is possible to globally change the DATEFORMAT setting for the server.
Definition and Usage
The CONVERT() function is a general function that converts an expression of one data type to another.
The CONVERT() function can be used to display date/time data in different formats.
select convert(datetime, '20/04/2013', 103)

How to do this in sql query
Use the CONVERT or CAST function (see documentation) which offer a number of formats. But be careful with what you do with it. This is fine for displaying, but could result in inefficient queries if you use the result in a query expression.
And if you are using it for display, you will probably have better formatting options in the language you are using at the UI level.
Try CONVERT(varchar(50), datecol, 130) - format 130 seems closest and replace some spaces?
The closest you can get from the built-in CONVERT function is 17 Apr 2011 9:05:00:000PM:
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 130)

113 is also similar:
