Can any one help me out please.

I have date formats of this type
4th December 2010
15th December 2010

How can I change the format to
2010/12/4
2010/12/15

Any short approaches to it- much appreciated
Thanks

you wanna the result to be string?

convert(nvarchar(50),#datetime field#,111)
or
you can just use cast(year(#datetime field#) as nvarchar(4)) + '/' + cast(month(#datetime field#) as nvarchar(2)) + '/' + cast(day(#datetime field#) as nvarchar(2))

What is the datatype of the column? Always use proper DATETIME datatype and leave formation at front end application
