I want to get the date in DDMMYYY
format from a field that stores date in YYYY-MM-DD Timestamp
format. (For example, ‘2018-11-09′ should display ’09Nov2018’).
I know that one way is to use the datepart
function (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/datepart-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017) which can extract the year, month and day individually and then I can concat them.
Edit: I don’t want to use getdate()
. There is a column which has YYYY-MM-DD Timestamp
format and from that column I am extracting 'DDMM2018'
. I am using:
concat ( CONVERT(varchar, DATEPART(dd,columndate)), CONVERT(varchar, LEFT(DATENAME(month, DATEPART(month,columndate)),3)) , CONVERT(varchar, DATEPART(year, columndate)) ) AS trial
This gives me '9Nov2018'
and not '09Nov2018'
. I am planning to convert this back to `datetype’ again as that is how I want the result.
Is there any other way to achieve this?
Any ideas/suggestions much appreciated.
