how do you convert 26/09/2014 to Date ?

then you can use Cast(CreatedOn as date)

No.......you misunderstood my query.... I meant ..how do I cast a String to date ?

e.g Cast('9/26/2014' as date) ....Is it Ok ? Do I need to mention dd/mm/yyyy format here ? if so ..how ?

Now I really am confused, I'm definitely misunderstanding something.

I thought CreatedOn was in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.ttt. Where does the string come from?

On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '29/01/2014', 103)

>>>SELECT CONVERT(datetime, '29/01/2014', 103)

what does 103 do here ?

It's the format code. See the CAST and CONVERT page in Books Online.
