Question

How do i format a insert statement with date time for this collation…

Currently:

string SQLst = "UPDATE [LASTUPDATE] SET last_update = '" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") + "'";

This works for Latin1_General_CI_AS but now on a different server i need this statment to work with server set to collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

this is the error i get:

The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value

Would be great if you do as @Jon Skeet said, but if you cant, than use CONVERT

string SQLst = "UPDATE [LASTUPDATE] SET last_update = CONVERT(datetime, '"+DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")+"', 120)
