    SET DATEFORMAT is responsible for how character strings are interpreted when converted to datetime. It's not resposible for the way db stores datetime values, and not responsible for how these values are displayed in ssms or somewhere else.

    Yep... I know that there's only one way to store DATETIME values. My problem, apparently, was that I got SET DATEFORMAT and setting the language seriously confused and I didn't verify it :blush:. My apologies on this.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
