Question

I want to convert DateTime to text and concate with text.

declare @AssignDate datetime 
set @AssignDate =getdate()
select 'Date: ' + convert(char(16),@AssignDate)

But my output is coming like: Date: Oct 9 2012 3:0,

My output should be “Date: 09/10/2012 15:30”

Answer 1

declare @AssignDate datetime = getdate()
select 'Date: ' + convert(char(10),@AssignDate,103) + ' '
                + convert(char(5),@AssignDate,108)

There isn’t a single CONVERT format that will work, but you can do it in two parts.
