I have a datetime column (SellDate) that I want to output in the following format:
mm/dd/yyyy
such as 06/01/1998
How would I do this? Thanks in advance!
Convert it to a string with the appropriate conversion style;
convert(varchar(10), thedatecol, 101)
to get date in DD/MM/YYYY
convert(varchar(10), TransactionDateTime, 103)
OutPut: 01-07-2018

I have column field of varchar type in format dd.mm.yyyy. I am trying to convert this varchar field to date time in SQL server using
CONVERT(Datetime, LTRIM(RTRIM([Completion Date])), 102)
but it gives me error 'Conversion of varchar type to date type results in out of range value'
How to convert this field to datetime format?
use style 104 (dd.mm.yyyy) instead of 102 (yyyy.mm.dd)
CONVERT(Datetime, LTRIM(RTRIM([Completion Date])), 104)
Also the field of type varchar so there could be some bad dates which needs to be eliminated before the conversion .
If you are using SQL SERVER 2012+ then use TRY_CONVERT, for bad dates it will result NULL
TRY_CONVERT(Datetime, LTRIM(RTRIM([Completion Date])), 104)
You can always use this:
SELECT convert(datetime, '23/07/2009', 102)
You can also use this:
SELECT convert(date, '21.12.2016', 104)
You can use convert with date and datetime as below:
SELECT convert(datetime, '27-09-2013', 104)
SELECT convert(date, '27-09-2013', 104)
I have string date in yymmdd format, for example 150202
I want to convert this string into a valid date in format yyyymmdd, e.g. 20150202.
Thanks in advance.
convert your string to datetime and then do that you want with it
declare #dt varchar(6) = '150213'
select CONVERT(datetime, #dt, 112)
Do another CONVERT to transform it to yyyymmdd format.
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), CONVERT(DATETIME, #dt, 112), 112)
may this will work
select CONVERT(datetime, '150202', 112)
for all date conversions
http://www.sqlusa.com/bestpractices/datetimeconversion/
instead of select CONVERT(datetime, '150202', 112)
its better to use "select TRY_CONVERT(datetime, '150202', 112)"
while using try_convert if there is any error it will returns null,if we are using convert it will returns error when conversion fails.
How to I convert a text value like "18/06/11" to a date format like "2011-06-18"?
I have tried the following
convert(char,[InstrumentText], 106)
but the value just stays in the same format
Thanks
The correct format for your string would appear to be 103.
More importantly, you need to convert to a datetime not to a char:
convert(date,[InstrumentText], 103)
If you then want to convert it back to a string in the format yyyy-mm-dd, you can do:
convert(varchar(10), convert(date,[InstrumentText], 103), 120)
Try
SELECT convert(datetime, '18/06/11' , 3)
I grabbed this from sqlusa.com:
SELECT CAST([InstrumentText] AS datetime)
how do I convert a datetime to look like "dd/MM/yyyy" in a stored procedure?
do like
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 103) – dd/mm/yyyy
and see other format from here http://anubhavg.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/how-to-format-datetime-date-in-sql-server-2005/
I need to select a datetime column in a table. However, I want the select statement to return the datetime as a nvarchar with the format DD/MM/YYYY.
Here is the convert documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/cast-and-convert-transact-sql
Looking through that, it looks like you want style 103:
SELECT CONVERT(nvarchar(10), getdate(), 103)
This should help. It contains all (or most anyway) the different date formats
http://wiki.lessthandot.com/index.php/Formatting_Dates
I think you'd be better off handling the string conversion in client if possible.
You can convert a date in many formats, in your case :
CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10), YOUR_DATE_TIME, 103) => 15/09/2016
CONVERT(NVARCHAR(10), YOUR_DATE_TIME, 3) => 15/09/16
Syntax:
CONVERT('TheDataTypeYouWant', 'TheDateToConvert', 'TheCodeForFormating' * )
The code is an integer, here 3 is the third formatting option (without century), if you want the century just change the code to 103.
See more at: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_convert.asp
select CONVERT (NVARCHAR, GETDATE(), 103)
Look up convert in BOL.
Use Convert with the 103 option.
select convert(nvarchar(10), datefield, 103)
