131 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 131) | 10/12/1427 12:38:54:840AM |
You can also format the date or time without dividing characters, as well as concatenate the date and time string:
Sample statement | Output |
---|---|
select replace(convert(varchar, getdate(),101),’/’,”) | 12302006 |
select replace(convert(varchar, getdate(),101),’/’,”) + replace(convert(varchar, getdate(),108),’:’,”) | 12302006004426 |
If you want to get a list of all valid date and time formats, you could use the code below and change the @date to GETDATE() or any other date you want to use. This will output just the valid formats.
DECLARE @counter INT = 0 DECLARE @date DATETIME = '2006-12-30 00:38:54.840' CREATE TABLE #dateFormats (dateFormatOption int, dateOutput varchar(40)) WHILE (@counter <= 150 ) BEGIN BEGIN TRY INSERT INTO #dateFormats SELECT CONVERT(varchar, @counter), CONVERT(varchar,@date, @counter) SET @counter = @counter + 1 END TRY BEGIN CATCH; SET @counter = @counter + 1 IF @counter >= 150 BEGIN BREAK END END CATCH END SELECT * FROM #dateFormats
Next Steps
- The formats listed above are not inclusive of all formats provided. Experiment with the different format numbers to see what others are available.
- These formats can be used for all date/time functions, as well as data being served to clients, so experiment with these data format conversions to see if they can provide data more efficiently.
- Also, check out the SQL Server FORMAT Function to Format Dates.
