I Used SELECT TO_CHAR(sysDate,'dy') FROM DUAL In oracle and I want to get the same output in SQL Server. I tried several ways and I want to know the date style value for this format.
CONVERT(VARCHAR(max),'2017-03-06T00:00:00.000',<DateStyle>)

I have a database in SQL Server that also has a related tabular database in Analysis Server. One of the tables has columns of type date in SQL Server:
If I run a SQL select in SQL Server select * from app_dates , I get the dates:
But if I run the equivalent in DAX evaluate app_dates I get date/time values instead of dates:
The problem is that my program detects automatically the types, and the type that Analysis Services returns is date/time instead of date.
How to tell Analysis Services that the column type should be date ?
Change the data type and data format of that column in your SSAS model. You can do this by viewing the properties of the column. I have an example below how to get the MM/DD/yyyy format you want without the time.

I'm migrating data from DB2 for Z/os (Mainframe) to RDS distribution of SQL Server.
In the mainframe, the date is stored in EURO format which is DD.MM.YYYY, when I migrate the data to SQL Server, the data is stored in SQL Server in YYYY-MM-DD ISO format.
All of my application program expects the date to be in DD.YY.MMMM format. I know I can use convert function at application programs to format the date to convert to EURO format. There are thousands of programs which would require change if I take that route.
Is there a way I can enforce SQL Server to store the date in DD.MM.YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY format ?
I already tried changing the Default Language of SQL server to "British English" it doesn't seem to be of any help. When I issue "DBCC USEROPTIONS" it shows Language as "BRITISH" and Date as 'dmy' but still when application program retrieves the date it's in yyyy-mm-dd format only.
My application program connects to SQL Server via ODBC driver and I have tried changing the OS Date from Control panel as well of dd/mm/yyyy format. Any advice on this issue will be of great help.
Thanks in advance!

If you want to guarantee that that dates are returned as dd.mm.yyyy, then you can convert them to a string:
select convert(char(10), datecol, 104)
In SQL Server, you can handle this by using views or adding computed columns to the tables:
alter table d add datecol_ddmmyyyy as ( convert(char(10), datecol, 104) );
Otherwise, the application should be able to ingest SQL Server dates in the native format. This is only relevant if they are being converted to strings.
We are migrating SQL Server system into Oracle implementation.
The application design date type:
SQL Server is achieved with DATETIME datatype EMPLOYEE(EMPLOYEE_HIRED DATETIME). Some of the columns contains time component as well till seconds.
Oracle is achieved with DATE datatype EMPLOYEE(EMPLOYEE_HIRED DATE). As we know, oracle date can hold time component as well
While migrating data from SQL Server to Oracle using SSIS, The system is defaulting it to TIMESTAMP datatype of oracle. Can this be defaulted to DATE?
There are around 1000+ such columns.
Do we need to address them manually through data conversion tool box? Can this be automated?
I have deployed an SQL Server 2012 on a Windows Server en-us.
Now my dates on Analysis services are in this format MM/dd/yyyy. the company is not American, therefore I would like to change it to yyyy-MM-dd.
Everything seems to be properly configured, however, SSAS is refusing to output the dates in the desired format.

an easy and fast way is to create a computed column on DimDate in SSMS, and specify this a name value for your datekey. Let me if that works.
ALTER TABLE [Dim].[Date] ADD AlternateDateFormat AS convert(date,[FullDate], 111);

I'm using SQL Server 2008 with the sqlserver rails plugin (rails-sqlserver/activerecord-sqlserver-adapter # github)
When I save records they fail because TinyTDS can't parse the date (2006-09-13 10:00:00 -0400, created_at, updated_at) (I think mssql needs the offset in the format of -hh:mm).
I get a similar result when I run the query directly in sql server. It works in sql server if I make the data type 'datetimeoffset' but I have almost 100 tables and... well I don't really want to make that manual change to all of those tables.
How can I get rails to migrate the tables with the proper date format and get it to write dates in a format that mssql will accept?
