Converting to mm/dd/yyyy format

Question

I have a table called SF_Data and there is a column called IN_Date, ID the data looks like:

ID      IN_Date
1       9/8/2010
2       26/04/2011
3       20/09/201         


        

Answer 1

You need a convert to fix the data (to the correct datatype) before formatting...

Select
     convert(varchar,
         convert(date, IN_Date, 103),
     101)
from dbo.SF_Data
