If I run this query on SQL Server Express 2008 :
Insert NoteBook (Date, Note) Values ('11/04/2011 11:02:46', 'test')
It stored the date as 04/11/2011
How can I prevent this?
Use the ISO-8601 format:
YYYYMMDD(orYYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS) – it works always, regardless of your SQL Server language and locale settings.The date in SQL Server is NOT stored in any particular string-oriented format – a date is a date is a date, regardless of what you see.
You see a string representation of the date – but again: it’s NOT stored that way – and thus you cannot “prevent” it from being stored that way…
Check your language settings in SQL Server:
What language do you have?? The language defines the default format in which dates are shown.
