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

How to format datetime & date with century?
Execute the following Microsoft SQL Server T-SQL datetime, date and time formatting scripts in Management Studio Query Editor to demonstrate the usage of the multitude of temporal data formats available and the application of date / datetime functions.
– SQL Server T-SQL date and datetime formats – sql date / datetime format
– Date time formats – mssql datetime – sql server date formats – sql dates format
– MSSQL getdate returns current system date and time in standard internal format
– SQL datetime formats with century (YYYY or CCYY format)- sql time format
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 100) – mon dd yyyy hh:mmAM (or PM)
– Oct 2 2010 11:01AM
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 101) – mm/dd/yyyy - 10/02/2010
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 102) – yyyy.mm.dd – 2010.10.02
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 103) – dd/mm/yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 104) – dd.mm.yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 105) – dd-mm-yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 106) – dd mon yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 107) – mon dd, yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 108) – hh:mm:ss
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 109) – mon dd yyyy hh:mm:ss:mmmAM (or PM)
– Oct 2 2010 11:02:44:013AM
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 110) – mm-dd-yyyy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 111) – yyyy/mm/dd
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 112) – yyyymmdd
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 113) – dd mon yyyy hh:mm:ss:mmm
– 02 Oct 2010 11:02:07:577
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 114) – hh:mm:ss:mmm(24h)
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 120) – yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss(24h)
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 121) – yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.mmm
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 126) – yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.mmm
– 2010-10-02T10:52:47.513
– Without century (YY) date / datetime conversion – there are exceptions!
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 0) – mon dd yyyy hh:mmAM (or PM)
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 1) – mm/dd/yy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 2) – yy.mm.dd
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 3) – dd/mm/yy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 4) – dd.mm.yy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 5) – dd-mm-yy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 6) – dd mon yy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 7) – mon dd, yy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 8) – hh:mm:ss
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 9) – mon dd yyyy hh:mm:ss:mmmAM (or PM)
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 10) – mm-dd-yy
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 11) – yy/mm/dd
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 12) – yymmdd
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 13) – dd mon yyyy hh:mm:ss:mmm
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 14) – hh:mm:ss:mmm(24h)
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 20) – yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss(24h)
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 21) – yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.mmm
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 22) – mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss AM (or PM)
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 23) – yyyy-mm-dd
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 24) – hh:mm:ss
SELECT convert(varchar, getdate(), 25) – yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.mmm
– SQL create different date styles with t-sql string functions
SELECT replace(convert(varchar, getdate(), 111), ‘/’, ‘ ‘) – yyyy mm dd
SELECT convert(varchar(7), getdate(), 126) – yyyy-mm
SELECT right(convert(varchar, getdate(), 106), 8) – mon yyyy
SELECT substring(convert(varchar, getdate(), 120),6, 11) – mm-dd hh:mm
