Question

When I am trying to convert date I am getting below error

DECLARE @MinLogDate AS varchar(100)
DECLARE @MinDate AS DATETIME

SET @MinLogDate = '10/26/2012 01:23:90 AM'
SET @MinDate = (SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(10), CONVERT(datetime, @MinLogDate,103),101))

Error:

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

How can I convert the varchar time to datetime?

EDIT

based on the answer i have modified.. below is the actual date time i am getting .. so now I am able to get mindate but max date is not working

    DECLARE @MinDate AS DATETIME
    DECLARE @MaxDate AS DATETIME
    DECLARE @MinLogDate AS varchar(100)
    DECLARE @MaxLogDate AS varchar(100)

    SET @MinLogDate = '8/1/2012 01:00:00 AM'
    SET @MaxLogDate = '8/31/2012 01:00:00 PM'

    SET @MinDate = CONVERT(datetime, LEFT(@MinLogDate, 10), 101)
    SET @MaxDate = CONVERT(datetime, LEFT(@MaxLogDate, 10), 101)

    SELECT @MinDate
    SELECT @MaxDate

Try this: CHANGE: As above answers I changed Date Format type 101 from 103.

DECLARE @MinLogDate AS varchar(100)
DECLARE @MinDate AS DATETIME

SET @MinLogDate = '10/26/2012 01:23:10 AM'
SET @MinDate = (SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(10), Replace(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), Cast(@MinLogDate AS DATETIME), 101), '-', '/')))
