Convert to DATE

  • Hi there,

    Can you help with the followuing. I have looked at SQL Books Online and can't work out what they are telling me to do.

    Basically I have the following datatype - SSFixTime which is a DATETIME FORMAT.

    I am calling it in my SELECT statement as

    SOJ.SSFixTime AS 'ServiceSchemeFixDateTime', which pulls me back a data as below -

    2010-12-13 08:30:00.000

    All I want to pull back is the DATE in the following format and pull back something like - 13-12-2010 or 13/12/2010.

    Can you please assist

    As always thank you

  • If this is a presentation issue, it should be taken care of by you presentation layer.

    With regard to sqlserver, keep the original data type as long as possible.

    As by your Q header, you should use the convert keyword to obtain what you want;

    Can this server you ?

    Select convert( char(10), yourdatecol, 103) have a look in books online.
