date format in SQL server installed in Jap OS

  • Hi,

    We installed MS SQL in a Japanese machine and it has been noticed that our application is not able save the date in a format with AM and PM as suffix. For e.g. it won’t allow us to save a datetime as '2006/05/17 5:28:07 AM'. If we change the value using Enterprise manager to one with AM or PM, it is reverting back to '2006/05/17 5:28:07'. How can I change/save the date value with AM & PM suffix in a Jap machine? And what could be the reason for this behavior?

    Thanks in advance

  • The reason I don't know but print out the eight pages from the link below it will show you how to create location neutral DateTime for your database.  Hope this helps.

  • Japanese time does not have AM and PM; it's a 24-hour clock. 

    Instead of 5:27pm, use 17:27.

    12:00 am = 0:00

    6:00 am = 6:00

    12:00 pm = 12:00

    6:00 pm = 18:00
