  I am grouping the data by Month and Year in sql. Using that I am getting as Date CONVERT ( CHAR(6),i_date, 112 ). This is giving me 200806. I want it in the format 06/2008. Is there any way to do it.

  "i_date" smells like an integer, right?

  Try this:

  SELECT SUBSTRING(CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(CHAR(6),i_date) + '01'), 103), 4, 7)

  (PS: What's wrong with storing dates as DATETIME those days on SSC?)
