Another way...

DECLARE @d DATETIME

SELECT @d = '2010-06-09 1:37:58.030'


Select Convert(BigInt, 100000000) * Year(@d)
        + Month(@d) * 1000000
        + Day(@d) * 10000
        + DatePart(Hour, @d) * 100
        + DatePart(Minute, @d)

The returned data type here is a BigInt.

One way

select left(replace(replace(replace(
   convert(varchar(30),getDate(),120),' ',''),'-',''),':',''),12)

or like this

select replace(replace(replace(
   convert(varchar(16),getDate(),120),' ',''),'-',''),':','')

or

select convert(varchar(8), getdate(),112) + 
   (replace(convert(varchar(5), getdate(),108),':',''))

Using DATEPART:

SELECT CAST(DATEPART(yyyy, x.dt) AS VARCHAR(4)) + 
       CASE WHEN DATEPART(mm, x.dt) < 10 THEN '0'+ CAST(DATEPART(mm, x.dt) AS VARCHAR(1)) ELSE CAST(DATEPART(mm, x.dt) AS VARCHAR(2)) END +
       CASE WHEN DATEPART(dd, x.dt) < 10 THEN '0'+ CAST(DATEPART(dd, x.dt) AS VARCHAR(1)) ELSE CAST(DATEPART(dd, x.dt) AS VARCHAR(2)) END +
       CASE WHEN DATEPART(hh, x.dt) < 10 THEN '0'+ CAST(DATEPART(hh, x.dt) AS VARCHAR(1)) ELSE CAST(DATEPART(hh, x.dt) AS VARCHAR(2)) END +
       CASE WHEN DATEPART(mi, x.dt) < 10 THEN '0'+ CAST(DATEPART(mi, x.dt) AS VARCHAR(1)) ELSE CAST(DATEPART(mi, x.dt) AS VARCHAR(2)) END 
  FROM (SELECT '2010-06-08 16:31:47.667' dt) x

For SQL Server 2005+, I'd look at creating a CLR function for format a date -- the C# DateTime.ToString() supports providing a more normal means of formatting the date.
