Hi all,

In oracle I use this query to format the date field. chg_dt is a date field in addchg table

select to_char(chg_dt,'YYYY/DD/MM HH:MI') as date from addchg;

DATECHG
----------------
2002/11/11 12:00

How can I do this in sql server?? Seems to be too complicated... I tried using convert but couldnt get this format

select convert(datetime, chg_dt,112) from addchg

I keep getting 2002-11-11 12:00:00:000

Please help thanks

There could be a better way...but I think this?

select convert(varchar(12),getdate(),111) + ' ' + convert(varchar(5),getdate(),108)
