  • RE: how can i convert this date'200702071630+1100' in datetime or in string '20070207'

    [font="Courier New"]DECLARE @Value AS VARCHAR(255)

    SET @Value = '200702071630+1100'

    SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,LEFT(@Value,8))

    [/font]

    Do you mean that? Output of that statement is "2007-02-07 00:00:00.000". Thanks.
