Hi kishore_peddi!<br />
<br />
Actually, CAST and CONVERT provide similar functionality.<br />
<br />
For your reference regarding this matter, visit this site : <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_ca-co_2f3o.asp" rel="ugc">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_ca-co_2f3o.asp</a><br />

Hope this makes sense.<br />
