I have a query in SQL, I have to get a date in a format of dd/mm/yy
Example: 25/jun/2013.
How can I convert it for SQL server?

I'm not sure there is an exact match for the format you want. But you can get close with convert() and style 106. Then, replace the spaces:
SELECT replace(convert(NVARCHAR, getdate(), 106), ' ', '/') There are already multiple answers and formatting types for SQL server 2008. But this method somewhat ambiguous and it would be difficult for you to remember the number with respect to Specific Date Format. That's why in next versions of SQL server there is better option.
If you are using SQL Server 2012 or above versions, you should use Format() function
FORMAT ( value, format [, culture ] ) With culture option, you can specify date as per your viewers.
DECLARE @d DATETIME = '10/01/2011'; SELECT FORMAT ( @d, 'd', 'en-US' ) AS 'US English Result' ,FORMAT ( @d, 'd', 'en-gb' ) AS 'Great Britain English Result' ,FORMAT ( @d, 'd', 'de-de' ) AS 'German Result' ,FORMAT ( @d, 'd', 'zh-cn' ) AS 'Simplified Chinese (PRC) Result'; SELECT FORMAT ( @d, 'D', 'en-US' ) AS 'US English Result' ,FORMAT ( @d, 'D', 'en-gb' ) AS 'Great Britain English Result' ,FORMAT ( @d, 'D', 'de-de' ) AS 'German Result' ,FORMAT ( @d, 'D', 'zh-cn' ) AS 'Chinese (Simplified PRC) Result'; US English Result Great Britain English Result German Result Simplified Chinese (PRC) Result ---------------- ----------------------------- ------------- ------------------------------------- 10/1/2011 01/10/2011 01.10.2011 2011/10/1 US English Result Great Britain English Result German Result Chinese (Simplified PRC) Result ---------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- --------------------------------------- Saturday, October 01, 2011 01 October 2011 Samstag, 1.

FORMAT(GETDATE(), 'dd/MMM/yyyy', 'en-us') Some sample date formats:

The accepted answer already gives the best solution using built in formatting methods in 2008.
It should be noted that the results returned is dependent on the language of the login however.
SET language Russian SELECT replace(CONVERT(NVARCHAR, getdate(), 106), ' ', '/') Returns
06/апр/2015 at the time of writing.
For people coming across this question on more recent versions of SQL Server a method that avoids this issue - and the need to REPLACE is
FORMAT(GETDATE(),'dd/MMM/yyyy', 'en-us') On 2005+ it would be possible to write a CLR UDF that accepted a DateTime, Formatting Pattern and Culture to simulate the same.
Try using the below query.
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),GETDATE(),6), ' ','/'); Result: 20/Jun/13
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),GETDATE(),106), ' ','/'); Result: 20/Jun/2013
Try this
select convert(varchar,getdate(),100) third parameter is format, range is from 100 to 114, any one should work for you.
If you need date in dd/mmm/yyyy use this:
replace(convert(char(11),getdate(),113),' ','-') Replace getdate() with your column name. This worked for me.
You can use this query-
SELECT FORMAT (getdate(), 'dd/MMM/yy') as date Hope, this query helps you.
Thanks!!
Try this :
select replace ( convert(varchar,getdate(),106),' ','/') Anyone trying to manually enter the date to sql server 'date type' variable use this format while entering :
'yyyy-mm-dd'
Just format after convert to a date (tested in SQL Server v.2017)
dd/mon/yyyy Select Format(cast('25/jun/2013' as date),'dd/MMM/yyyy') dd/mm/yyyy Select Format(cast('25/jun/2013' as date),'dd/MM/yyyy') dd/Month/yyyy Select Format(cast('25/jun/2013' as date),'dd/MMMM/yyyy') Simply get date and convert
Declare @Date as Date =Getdate() Select Format(@Date,'dd/MM/yyyy') as [dd/MM/yyyy] // output: 22/10/2020 Select Format(@Date,'dd-MM-yyyy') as [dd-MM-yyyy] // output: 22-10-2020 //string date Select Format(cast('25/jun/2013' as date),'dd/MM/yyyy') as StringtoDate // output: 25/06/2013 Source: SQL server date format and converting it (Various examples)
