Problem
There are many instances when dates and times don’t show up at your doorstep in the format you’d like it to be, nor does the output of a query fit the needs of the people viewing it. One option is to format the data in the application itself. Another option is to use the built-in functions SQL Server provides to format the date string for you.
There are many instances when dates and times don’t show up at your doorstep in the format you’d like it to be, nor does the output of a query fit the needs of the people viewing it. One option is to format the data in the application itself. Another option is to use the built-in functions SQL Server provides to format the date string for you.
Solution
SQL Server provides a number of options you can use to format a date/time string. One of the first considerations is the actual date/time needed. The most common is the current date/time using getdate(). This provides the current date and time according to the server providing the date and time. If a universal date/time is needed, then getutcdate() should be used. To change the format of the date, you convert the requested date to a string and specify the format number corresponding to the format needed. Below is a list of formats and an example of the output:

DATE FORMATS | ||
Format # | Query (current date: 12/30/2006) | Sample |
1 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 1) | 12/30/06 |
2 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 2) | 06.12.30 |
3 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 3) | 30/12/06 |
4 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 4) | 30.12.06 |
5 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 5) | 30-12-06 |
6 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 6) | 30 Dec 06 |
7 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 7) | Dec 30, 06 |
10 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 10) | 12-30-06 |
11 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 11) | 06/12/30 |
101 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 101) | 12/30/2006 |
102 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 102) | 2006.12.30 |
103 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 103) | 30/12/2006 |
104 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 104) | 30.12.2006 |
105 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 105) | 30-12-2006 |
106 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 106) | 30 Dec 2006 |
107 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 107) | Dec 30, 2006 |
110 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 110) | 12-30-2006 |
111 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 111) | 2006/12/30 |
TIME FORMATS | ||
8 or 108 | select convert(varchar, getdate(),  | 00:38:54 |
9 or 109 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 9) | Dec 30 2006 12:38:54:840AM |
14 or 114 | select convert(varchar, getdate(), 14) | 00:38:54:840 |
You can also format the date or time without dividing characters, as well as concatenate the date and time string:
Sample statement | Output |
select replace(convert(varchar, getdate(),101),’/',”) | 12302006 |
select replace(convert(varchar, getdate(),101),’/',”) + replace(convert(varchar, getdate(),108),’:',”) | 12302006004426 |
Next Steps
- The formats listed above are not inclusive of all formats provided. Experiment with the different format numbers to see what others are available
- These formats can be used for all date/time functions, as well as data being served to clients, so experiment with these data format conversions to see if they can provide data more efficiently
