Also how do I convert time in the format hh:mm:ss.xxx(xxx represent milli seconds)
to hh:mm:ss:xxxx .
How do I convert time in the format hhmmssx to hh:mm:ss:xxx?
How do I convert time in the format hh:mm:ss.xxx to hh:mm:ss?
How do I convert time in the format hh:mm:ss to hhmmss?
All of these in sql server 2005.

Please let me know ASAP.

Thanks in advance

You actually want to change what they are **stored as** or how they are formatted when you select them?

Anthony Perkins

Datetime and smalldatetime are not stored in any regional format. In order to convert for display purposes to some typical formats, take a look at the CONVERT() function in BOL

Use the Convert function in SQL to convert the date format according to your choice.
You can specify the <Style> tag according to your choice.
For eg:- convert (datetime, <Column Name>, 112 ) will give you the format yyyymmdd
Like wise you can get different formats.
