Hi there, I am having problems inputting the datetime value into my database.CAST('JAN-01-1990'as datetime)gives me the following error: quote:
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
And that is the format I get the date from my front end so I really don't want to change it, is their anyway of getting it to work with SQL? |

Use convert like this:CONVERT(DATETIME,REPLACE('JAN-01-1990','-',' '),100) |

SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, REPLACE('JAN-01-1990', '-', ' '), 107)
N 56°04'39.26"E 12°55'05.63" |

| Both Peso's and mine do two things:1. Replace the dashes with spaces.2. Use the CONVERT function with a specific style to achieve the conversion. See here for details of various styles: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx |
