I have a query in SQL
, I have to get a date in a format of dd/mm/yy
Example: 25/jun/2013
.
How can I convert
Just format after convert to a date (tested in SQL Server v.2017)
dd/mon/yyyy
Select Format(cast('25/jun/2013' as date),'dd/MMM/yyyy')
dd/mm/yyyy
Select Format(cast('25/jun/2013' as date),'dd/MM/yyyy')
dd/Month/yyyy
Select Format(cast('25/jun/2013' as date),'dd/MMMM/yyyy')
The accepted answer already gives the best solution using built in formatting methods in 2008.
It should be noted that the results returned is dependent on the language of the login however.
SET language Russian
SELECT replace(CONVERT(NVARCHAR, getdate(), 106), ' ', '/')
Returns
06/апр/2015
at the time of writing.
For people coming across this question on more recent versions of SQL Server a method that avoids this issue - and the need to REPLACE
is
FORMAT(GETDATE(),'dd/MMM/yyyy', 'en-us')
On 2005+ it would be possible to write a CLR UDF that accepted a DateTime, Formatting Pattern and Culture to simulate the same.
There are already multiple answers and formatting types for SQL server 2008. But this method somewhat ambiguous and it would be difficult for you to remember the number with respect to Specific Date Format. That's why in next versions of SQL server there is better option.
FORMAT ( value, format [, culture ] )
With culture option, you can specify date as per your viewers.
DECLARE @d DATETIME = '10/01/2011';
SELECT FORMAT ( @d, 'd', 'en-US' ) AS 'US English Result'
,FORMAT ( @d, 'd', 'en-gb' ) AS 'Great Britain English Result'
,FORMAT ( @d, 'd', 'de-de' ) AS 'German Result'
,FORMAT ( @d, 'd', 'zh-cn' ) AS 'Simplified Chinese (PRC) Result';
SELECT FORMAT ( @d, 'D', 'en-US' ) AS 'US English Result'
,FORMAT ( @d, 'D', 'en-gb' ) AS 'Great Britain English Result'
,FORMAT ( @d, 'D', 'de-de' ) AS 'German Result'
,FORMAT ( @d, 'D', 'zh-cn' ) AS 'Chinese (Simplified PRC) Result';
US English Result Great Britain English Result German Result Simplified Chinese (PRC) Result
---------------- ----------------------------- ------------- -------------------------------------
10/1/2011 01/10/2011 01.10.2011 2011/10/1
US English Result Great Britain English Result German Result Chinese (Simplified PRC) Result

For OP's solution, we can use following format, which is already mentioned by @Martin Smith:
FORMAT(GETDATE(), 'dd/MMM/yyyy', 'en-us')
Some sample date formats:
If you want more date formats of SQL server, you should visit:
I'm not sure there is an exact match for the format you want. But you can get close with convert() and style 106
. Then, replace the spaces:
SELECT replace(convert(NVARCHAR, getdate(), 106), ' ', '/')
You can use this query-
SELECT FORMAT (getdate(), 'dd/MMM/yy') as date
Hope, this query helps you.
Thanks!!
Try this :
select replace ( convert(varchar,getdate(),106),' ','/')
