| I want to convert "2007-01-27 14:13:01.223" to 20070127 (an integer representing the day). I could concatenate the calls to YEAR, MONTH DAY but then I would have to cater for the possibility that MONTH or DAY may return me one char instead of two; then I'll have to pad it manually.Is there a shorter way to write such a query? |

SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
E 12°55'05.25"N 56°04'39.16" |

| Thanks! I knew I'd seen it somewhere before!Just for interest sake, it looks a little bit more tricky if I wanted it the other way round 27012007. But not much:select replace(convert(char(10), @a, 105),'-','') |
