In SQL Server 2008 we get a new DATE date type that allows you to store a
date without a time.

Good article. Simple and does the job. I'd like to add something of value here, but there's nothing I can think of.

Great no more remove (9,2) or storing dates as varchar, or whatever other bodge jobs I have used in the past.
Shame most of my customers are still using SQL2000 though. What can we do about that ?

Guys I am still wondering that if I want the date format to be declared as MM/DD/YYYY instead of YYYY-MM-DD.

I mean to say that if I declare any of the data type to be the date then is there any was that I can make MM/DD/YYYY default instead of current?

That is formatting issue, nothing to do with how the date is stored in the database.

You can use convert() to format the date or perform the formatting on your front end application.

My agency recently upgraded to SQL Server 2008 R2 and I immediately began taking advantage of the Date datatype. However, my front-end application, MS Access 2003 does not seem to recognize the date datatype. Access treats the date datatype as 'text'. Any thoughts on what to do? Do I have to find all the 'date' fields and convert back to datetime? Thanks.
