Getdate() Formatting

By MichaelDeputy, 1 year and 8 months ago

I get the occasional question from our Oracle DBAs on how do you do this in MSSQL.  Usually I have little to no idea, so I do what all new DBAs do:  Look it up.  Well, this situation came up today on how can I write a procedure that will query the table and give me all the enteries for today.  The column the date is stored in is varchar in this format 11/14/2008.  I found the answer is select convert(varchar,getdate(),101)  So I thought I'd add the sytle ID numbers for future reference.
