CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), YourField, 103)

Per your comment - you want the time as well.


select (CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), YourField, 103) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(15), YourField, 108)) as DateTime

What Guffa said, plus this from books online: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa226054.aspx

CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), column, 103)

103 is yyyy
3 is yy

A date value doesn't have a format at all. It gets it's format when you convert it to a string.

You can use the convert function to convert the value in the database, but you should rather leave that to the code in the user interface.
