Home Forums SQL Server 2008 T-SQL (SS2K8) Formatting date of birth using South African ID number RE: Formatting date of birth using South African ID number

  • My mistake. I misread the question.

    select convert(char(11),convert(date,'800101'),106)

    select convert(char(11),convert(date,'000101'),106)

    Jason, I understand your concerns. I agree they are valid and you did well to list them. But I am assuming that smthembu knows his data, so I am simply providing the conversion functions he asked for.
