There are already very good answers available like:

select replace(convert(varchar,getdate(),106),' ','/')

But, I want to add a comprehensive list of codes for all the other formats:

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

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')

You can use this query-

SELECT FORMAT (getdate(), 'dd/MMM/yy') as date

Hope, this query helps you.

Thanks!!

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. Oktober 2011        2011年10月1日
   

For OP's solution, we can use following format, which is already mentioned by @Martin Smith:

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 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.

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

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), ' ', '/')
