This tutorial will show you how to use the CONVERT() function in SQL Server to convert a datetime to a string.

The CONVERT() function's datetime to string conversion

Using the CONVERT() function, a datetime can be transformed into a string in the following ways:

Use CONVERT(VARCHAR, datetime [,style]).
Hidden meanings: The term "SQL" refers to the Structured Query Language. ( sql )

Here's the syntax:

  • As the first parameter, VARCHAR is the string type.
  • An expression that evaluates to a date or datetime value can be converted to a string using the datetime function.
  • When using sytle, the date must be written in the exact format that is defined by the style. Style is a SQL Server-defined numeric value. An alternative to specifying a style parameter is to

In the table below, we can see examples of acceptable datetime formats after string conversion.

Without the yy century Century (yyyy) Standard Format – 0 or 100 Instances of datetime and smalldatetime use this as their default. Monday, December 13, HH:MM (AM or PM) 1 101 U S Mm/dd/yyyy = 1
A date format of 101 = mm/dd/yyyy 2 102 ANSI 2 = yy mm dd
102 = yyyy mm dd 3 103 British/French Date Format: 3 = dd/mm/yy
The format of the year 103 is: dd/mm/yyyy 4 104 German 4 = dd mm yy
104 = dd mm yyyy 5 105 Italian 5. dd/mm/yy
505 = dd-mm-yyyy 6 106 – 6. = dd.m.yy
The formula for the year 106 is: dd.mon.yyyy 7 107 – 7 = Monday, DD, YY
The date format is: 107 = Monday, December 7th, yyyy 8 108 – hh:mi:ss – 9 or 109 Milliseconds by default Monday, December 31, HH:MI:SS:MM AM (or PM) 10 110 USA 00 = mm-dd-yy
110 = dd-mm-yyyy 11 111 JAPAN A date format of 11 = yy/mm/dd
Year, Month, Day = 111 12 112 ISO Year 12 = yymmdd
For example: 112 = yyyymmdd – 13 or 113 Milliseconds until Europe's default Time in format: dd:mon:yyyy hh:mi:ss:mmm(24h) 14 114 – hh:mi:ss:mmm(24h) – 20 or 120 ODBC standard (24h format) yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss – 21 or 121 Time, dates, datetime2, and datetimeoffset all default to ODBC canonical (with milliseconds) format. dates formatted as yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss mmm(24h) – 126 ISO8601 yyyy-mm-ddThh:mi:ss mm (no punctuation) – 127 Time Zone Z in ISO8601 yyyy-mm-ddThh:mi:ss (Without the spaces) mmmZ – 130 Hijri date: dd/mon/yyyy hh:mi:ss:mmmAM time: hh:mi:ss:mmmAM – 131 Hijri morning dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss:mmmAM

Date and time string conversion examples

For starters, let's say you need to change a datetime from the typical "mon dd yyyy hh:miAM (or PM)" format to a string.

DECLARE DATETIME @dt = '2019-12-31 14:43:35 863' ; SELECT CONVERT ( VARCHAR ( 20 ),@dt, ) s1, CONVERT ( VARCHAR ( 20 ),@dt, 100 ) s2;
To translate the code: What is SQL? SQL stands for "Structured Query Language." ( sql )

You can see the results below:

s1 s2 Time: 12:43 PM, December 31st, 2019 It only affects the first row.
In secret language: Standard Query Language (SQL) ( sql )

Second, an illustration of how to change a datetime to a string using the mm/dd/yy and mm/dd/yyyy formats

DECLARE Attribute DATETIME @dt = '2019-12-31 14:43:35 863' ; SELECT CONVERT ( VARCHAR ( 10 ),@dt, 1 ) s1, CONVERT ( VARCHAR ( 10 ),@dt, 101 ) s2;
Secret code: This query was written in SQL (Structured Query Language). ( sql )

The result is as follows:

s1 s2 12/31/19 12/31/2019 Only the first row was modified.
Secret code: Standard Query Language (SQL) ( sql )

Monday, December 31, 2013 at 11:59:59 a.m. (or pm) is an example of a datetime string that has been converted from the AM/PM format.

DECLARE Date and Time Expression @dt = '2019-12-31 14:43:35 863' ; SELECT CONVERT ( VARCHAR ( 10 ),@dt, 3 ) s1, CONVERT ( VARCHAR ( 10 ),@dt, 103 ) s2;
Secret code: Standard Query Language (SQL) ( sql )

And the results are as follows:

s1 s2 31/12/19 31/12/2019 The problem occurs in the first row.
Secret language: What is SQL? SQL stands for "Structured Query Language." ( sql )

Fourthly, dd datetime to string conversion mm yy and dd mm dates in yyyy format

DECLARE DATETIME @dt = '2019-12-31 14:43:35 863' ; SELECT CONVERT ( VARCHAR ( 10 ),@dt, 4 ) s1, CONVERT ( VARCHAR ( 10 ),@dt, 104 ) s2;
Subtle communication: In computer science, this method is known as "SQL" (for "Structured Query Language ( sql )

The results are as follows.

s1 s2 31 12 19 31 12 2019 This only affects the first row.
Symbolic representation of The term "SQL" refers to the Structured Query Language. ( sql )

Secret code: To query data in a database, use SQL (Structured Query Language). ( sql )

The result is as follows:

s1 s2 31-12-19 31-12-2019 (It only affects the first row)
Secret code: Slang for "Structured Query Language," or SQL. ( sql )

Formatting a date/time string to be displayed as dd/mm/yyyy is shown in Example 6 below.

DECLARE DATETIME = @dt '2019-12-31 14:43:35 863' ; SELECT CONVERT ( VARCHAR ( 10 ), @dt, 6 ) s1, CONVERT ( VARCHAR ( 10 ), @dt, 106 ) s2;
Secret code: SQL stands for "Structured Query Language." ( sql )

The result is as follows:
