| HelloI'm struggling with this one.......!!I need to format a VARCHAR field storing a date value in to a different format.The field currently holds date data in the format 01/01/2008 but I want to return 010108.The nearest i'm coming out with is 01012008 by using the REPLACE function, but can't seem to get out the required format.It is not a date field and I can't change it to a date field, due to other procedures relying on it.Can anyone help??Thank you |
