| Are you using dd/mm/yyyy format, or mm/dd/yyyy format? Can't tell from the 12/12/2013 example that you are using.If you are using dd/mm/yyyy format, use CONVERT(DATE,SAO.Name, 103) and if you are using mm/dd/yyyy format, use CONVERT(DATE,SAO.Name, 101)The 103 and 101 are styles - see here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspxYou can avoid this type of problem if you specify your date literals in the unambiguous format for YYYYMMDD, for example '20130127'. |
