Hi

I have a date value in SQL table as below:

1999-11-03 00:00:00.000

That I would like to return as this format:

dd-mm-yyyy 00:00

Can you tell me how to do this?

Thanks for any advice,

G

Yes I had tried CONVERT but couldn't seem to get it to the format I was wanting.

Do a little concatenation:

DECLARE @myDate datetime
SET @myDate='19991103'
SELECT CONVERT(char(10), @myDate, 105) + ' ' + CONVERT(char(5), @myDate, 8)

Where do you want to show formatted dates?
If you use front end application, do formation there
