Where chr(10)
is the myDateField column type to expect and 103
is the date format to use. The 100-plus date format codes will display a 4-digit year, whereas the 0-100 codes will display a 2-digit year. (Not recommended, if you ask me!)
So, to generate a standard mm/dd/yyyy
date format:
CONVERT( chr(10), myDateField, 103)
See the SQL Server CAST and CONVERT docs for a full reference of the various date formats you can use.
For more info, you can read this post from sql-server-helper.com which gives more detail and more concrete examples.
