I have column in table, with datetime type.
Then I'm reporting this data from table using SQL Server Data Tools 2015.
I want that in visual studio, displayed date and time in this format: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss, though, in visual studio, when I look Text Box Properties->Number, there Date and Time formats are separated.
Question: how can I format text box in visual studio, for displaying datetime value as YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss ?
You could use this simple query
SET DATEFORMAT DMY --Day/Month/Year ... you can write YMD or another combination
If you want to use CONVERT in your SELECT clause you can use:
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 100) -- mon dd yyyy hh:mmAM (or PM) – Oct 2 2008 11:01AM
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 101) -- mm/dd/yyyy - 10/02/2008
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 102) -- yyyy.mm.dd – 2008.10.02
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 105) -- dd-mm-yyyy
And finally, visit Date and Time styles

I am getting the date in following string formats from third party vendor API:
MM/dd/yyyy
yyyy/MM/dd
yyyyMMdd
yyyy-MM-dd
MMddyyyy
So some of the records have date of birth in yyyy-MM-dd and some of the records have DOB in other format.
Except format MMddyyyy, all the formats are converted to yyyy-MM-dd using SQL Convert/Cast function.
How do I convert MMddyyyy it to yyyy-MM-dd?
I am trying below statement in SQL Server 2019 but its not working:
DECLARE #dt varchar(8)= '02022020';
SELECT CAST(#dt as date) s1;
Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 20
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
Is there any way I can handle this scenario in SQL Server?
Be informed: I am trying to implement below ADF code using SQL stored procedure.
coalesce(toDate(DOB,'MM/dd/yyyy')
,toDate(DOB,'yyyy/MM/dd')
,toDate(DOB,'yyyyMMdd')
,toDate(DOB,'MMddyyyy')
,toDate(DOB,'yyyy-MM-dd'))
There is no style code for MMddyyyy as far as I am aware, so the easiest way is probably to just convert the string to yyyyMMdd first, e.g.
CONCAT(RIGHT(#dt, 4), LEFT(#dt, 4))
Then convert that to a date:
DECLARE #dt varchar(8)= '02022020';
SELECT CONVERT(DATE, CONCAT(RIGHT(#dt, 4), LEFT(#dt, 4)), 112)
Below is the SQL statements to handle all the formats.
MM/dd/yyyy
yyyy/MM/dd
yyyyMMdd
yyyy-MM-dd
MMddyyyy
DECLARE #date varchar(10)= '2020-03-15';
SELECT CASE
WHEN #date IS NULL
THEN NULL
WHEN TRY_CONVERT(DATE, #date) IS NOT NULL
THEN CAST(#date AS DATE)
WHEN TRY_CONVERT(DATE, #date) IS NULL
THEN CONVERT(DATE, CONCAT(RIGHT(#date, 4), LEFT(#date, 4)), 112)
END;
Have you tried the following? SELECT FORMAT (yourdate, 'MM-dd-yy'). let me know
How to convert getdate() function to MM-DD-YYYY HH:MI:SS format in MSSQL.
Use the FORMAT function:
SELECT FORMAT ( GETDATE(), 'MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss')
FORMAT() function is available from SQL SERVER 2012 or Above Versions, if you want to use for older SQL SERVER Versions use this Query
SELECT convert(varchar,getdate(), 110) + ' ' + convert(varchar, getdate(), 108)
Use this link for reference on how to convert to other formats
I'm trying to convert a varchar field to datetime. The data in the varchar field looks like this dd/mm/yyyy hh.mm AM/PM.
I'm actually trying to extract the date part & time part and convert them to date and time respectively.
And I use the below query to extract the date part from the varchar and convert it to date.
SELECT DISTINCT LEFT([Start Date], 10)
,CASE WHEN ISDATE(LEFT([Start Date], 10)) = 1
THEN CONVERT(DATETIME, LEFT([Start Date], 10), 120)
END
,ISDATE(LEFT([Start Date], 10))
FROM [dbo].[TestTable]
I have timestamp in the format mentioned above for entire August.
But the query gives me the result in yyyy-dd-mm format and the date are converted to date format only till 12 Aug'15. Date after 12 of Aug is null. I know it's because, in the case statement they are returned 0. How can I convert those values also to date?
Any suggestions to convert all the values to yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
You could use SET DATEFORMAT as lad2025 suggested.
SET DATEFORMAT dmy
Or you can use the following in your CONVERT()
DECLARE #date VARCHAR(16) = '13/08/2015 11:13';
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, #date, 103)
103 is the code for dd/mm/yyyy.
How to get format like 19 Dec 2012 from getdate() function in tsql
select convert(varchar(11),getdate(),?)
select convert(varchar(11),getdate(),106)
Cast and Convert lists the available formats:
106 dd mon yy
looks about right.
I'd generally avoid doing any formatting on the database. Keep dates as dates as long as possible - only convert at the last moment in displaying it to the user (similarly, for any input, prefer to convert it from string into its proper data type as early as possible)
-- Can use if SQL 2008 and above (precision to nanoseconds)
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), SYSDATETIME(), 106)
-- otherwise (precision to miliseconds)
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), GETDATE(), 106)
I have a datetime column in SQL Server that gives me data like this 10/27/2010 12:57:49 pm and I want to query this column but just have SQL Server return the day month and year - eg. 2010 10 27 or something like that.
What are the functions I should be researching?
Should I be trying to convert to another date data type? Or simply convert it to a string?
Have a look at CONVERT. The 3rd parameter is the date time style you want to convert to.
e.g.
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 103) -- dd/MM/yyyy format
Try this:
print cast(getdate() as date )
If you need the result in a date format you can use:
Select Convert(DateTime, Convert(VarChar, GetDate(), 101))
In addition to CAST and CONVERT, if you are using Sql Server 2008, you can convert to a date type (or use that type to start with), and then optionally convert again to a varchar:
declare #myDate date
set #myDate = getdate()
print cast(#myDate as varchar(10))
output:
2012-01-17
If you have a datetime field that gives the results like this 2018-03-30 08:43:28.177
Proposed: and you want to change the datetime to date to appear like 2018-03-30
cast(YourDateField as Date)
With SQL Server 2005, I would use this:
select replace(convert(char(10),getdate(),102),'.',' ')
Results: 2015 03 05
The shortest date format of mm/dd/yy can be obtained with:
Select Convert(varchar(8),getdate(),1)
Just add date keyword.
E.g. select date(orderdate),count(1) from orders where orderdate > '2014-10-01' group by date(orderdate);
orderdate is in date time.
This query will show the orders for that date rather than datetime.
Date keyword applied on a datetime column will change it to short date.
For any versions of SQL Server: dateadd(dd, datediff(dd, 0, getdate()), 0)
The original DateTime field : [_Date_Time]
The converted to Shortdate : 'Short_Date'
CONVERT(date, [_Date_Time]) AS 'Short_Date'
