SQL Server CONVERT() Function

Definition and Usage


The CONVERT() function is a general function
for converting data into a new data type.
The CONVERT() function can be used to display
date/time data in different formats.
Syntax
CONVERT(data_type(length),data_to_be_conve
rted,style)

Where data_type(length) specifies the target


data type (with an optional length),
data_to_be_converted contains the value to be
converted, and style specifies the output format
for the date/time.
The styles that can be used are:

CONVERT(VARCHAR(19),GETDATE())
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),110)
CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),GETDATE(),106)
CONVERT(VARCHAR(24),GETDATE(),113)

11-04-2008
04 Nov 08
04 Nov 2008 11:45:34:243
Declare @date date
select @date = CONVERT(date,
CAST('20010101' AS CHAR(12)),
112)
select @date
