In SQL Server Used Cast or Convert Function To Format DateTime Value or Column Into A Specific Date Format

The CAST and CONVERT functions in SQL Server are used to format datetime values or columns into specific date formats. CAST converts a datetime to a varchar or string. CONVERT changes or converts datetime formats and can return just the date or time portion. CONVERT takes a datetime style parameter to specify the desired format like mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yyyy, or yyyymmdd. Examples show using CONVERT with GETDATE() and different style parameters to return formatted datetime strings.
