SQL Server Date Formats — ffffd

Question

How do I get the day of the week (in ffffd format, so Mon, Tue etc.) in SQL ? I don\'t see anything about it in the CAST and CONVERT documentation..

Answer 1

You can't ffffd out of the box but you can do the full day

e.g.

select datename(weekday,getdate())

returns 'Monday' and you can just take the first 3 letters.
