I have a query regarding datetime inputs to SQL SERVER.

How does SQL SERVER recognizes the inout date format. For example ’01-02-2012′. How does SQL SERVER recognizes whether its JAN 02 2012 OR FEB 01 2012.

Please reply as it might help me fix issues in my project..

This I am trying from 1 month, Front end I am using VB 6 and backend sql server 2000.

I am inserting data into the date field using format(fild name,”dd/mm/yyyy”) command but still in backend it is storing as mm/dd/yyyy.

Kindly do the needful

DBCC useroptions

You can change the setting as you want

But always make sure you input date in YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS format in order to work with all date settings

We have a problem that dateformat changed generally but we don’t know where is that setting (if it exists).

So things that worked now produce out-of-range datetime situations.

Desired: ymd
Current: ydm
Why=?

Thanks

Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 2 (TRANSACTION_DATE)

Great article
If I put ” DMY ” then why it should not display as 28-09-2007 ?
