Return date as ddmmyyyy in SQL Server

Question

I need the date as ddmmyyyy without any spacers.

How can I do this?

I can get yyyymmdd using CONVERT(VARCHAR, [MyDateTime],

Answer 1

Try this:

SELECT CONVERT(DATE, STUFF(STUFF('01012020', 5, 0, '-'), 3, 0, '-'), 103);

It works with SQL Server 2016.

Answer 2

CONVERT style 103 is dd/mm/yyyy. Then use the REPLACE function to eliminate the slashes.

SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(10), [MyDateTime], 103), '/', '')

Answer 3

I've been doing it like this for years;

print convert(char,getdate(),103)

Answer 4

I found a way to do it without replacing the slashes

select CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 112)

This would return: "YYYYMMDD"

Answer 5

SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), THEDATE, 103), '/', '') AS [DDMMYYYY]

As seen here: http://www.sql-server-helper.com/tips/date-formats.aspx

Answer 6

select replace(convert(VARCHAR,getdate(),103),'/','')

select right(convert(VARCHAR,getdate(),112),2) + 
       substring(convert(VARCHAR,getdate(),112),5,2) + 
       left(convert(VARCHAR,getdate(),112),4)
