Normally, you should do this at front end.. however check out BOL for CONVERT functions...

Thanks dinakar. I know it's very easy at front end, but if there is a situation when there is no front end, then it has to be done at back end.

A UDF can be written but I was just looking if there is something built-in available.

select datename(dw,getdate()) + ', ' + convert(varchar (11),getdate(),109)

or

select datename(dw,getdate()) + ', ' + stuff(convert(varchar (11),getdate(),109),7,1,', ')

No direct conversion that I know of:
SELECT
DATENAME(WEEKDAY, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
+ ', ' + DATENAME(MONTH, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
+ ' ' + CAST(DAY(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) AS VARCHAR(2))
+ ', ' + CAST(YEAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) AS VARCHAR(4))

[code]
select DisplayDate =
convert(varchar(30),
datename(dw,getdate())+', '+datename(month,getdate())+' '+
datename(day,getdate())+', '+datename(year,getdate()))

Results:
DisplayDate
