Question

Here’s a simple one for you guys.

I need to convert the result of GetDate() in this format : YYYY-MM-DD directly in SQLServer2008.

But I can’t find exactly the one i’m looking for here.

Thanks in advance.

The trick is to truncate one that starts with the format you want. One way is to cast it as a string type with only the amount of characters you need:

SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(10), GETDATE(), 120);
