SQL server date convertion












2















I am trying to convert a varchar to date using the below code.



SELECT CAST('14/08/2018' as date) --This code does not work

SELECT CAST('09/08/2018' as date) --This code works


It appears that when the day part of the date gets to '13' that is where it starts breaking.Is there a logical explanation for this?



The error given is :




Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 7670

Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.

    Looks like your date format is set to MM/DD/YYYY

  • If you use default date format that won't happen: 2018-08-14

You should decide your date component before conversation :



I would considered date with style dd/mm/yyyy :



SELECT CONVERT(DATE, '14/08/2018', 103)


However, it seems SQL has set date mm/dd/yyyy.



If so, you can change it :



set dateformat dmy

The cause of your problem is that you have a mm/dd/yyyy format and the first value is the month. You will either need to swap the first and the second value. You can use convert for this purpose with option 101, which converts a mm/dd/yyyy to a mm/dd/yyyy:



select convert(DATE, '14/08/2018', 101);


This is the US standard and this converts your varchar to a DATE. Now, if you want to display this in a format of dd/mm/yyyy, then just do



select convert(varchar(10), convert(DATE, '14/08/2018', 101), 103);
