    Sorry... should not use convert to retrive data from date column,

    the date should be appear in the table in 01-02-1988 only, not in 1988-02-01.

    '01-02-1988' does not appear as '1988-02-01' in the table. In the table, I believe it appears as 32172, or maybe 32142, depending on if you are meaning February 1st 1988 or January 2nd 1988.

    ThanQ for your reply and please look at my question once, you would know what exactly i need.

    What you want is simply not possible using the proper datatype. I have told you already that there is no "format" for datetime storage. It is numeric. If you absolutely MUST have it stored a certain way you will have to use varchar.

    I understand fully what you want but it just isn't possible.

  • Yes, you should use convert to display the data. Data is held in a date column in an internal format that supports the ability to display the data in various formats upon retrieval. It comes out in a default manner, but the internal format is irrelevant to the display. Just like Greg said.


    And then again, I might be wrong ...
