Can you elaborate some more on this? What exact format are you trying
to convert from and what exact format are you trying to go to? Is that
just display? What is the format in the database?
Not sure if this is anything you could use ... check out scalar functions
at http://www.houseoffusion.com/scalar/scalar.htm like
SELECT * FROM FOO
WHERE EMPLOYEEID = '#FORM.EMPLOYEEID#'
AND {fn Year(STARTDATE)} = #DatePart("yyyy", Now())#
and DatePart
<CFSET todayDate = Now()>
<BODY>
<H3>DatePart Example</H3>
<P>Today's date is <CFOUTPUT>#todayDate#</CFOUTPUT>.
<P>Using datepart, we can extract an integer representing
the various dateparts from that value
<CFOUTPUT>
<UL>
<LI>year: #DatePart("yyyy", todayDate)#
<LI>quarter: #DatePart("q", todayDate)#
<LI>month: #DatePart("m", todayDate)#
<LI>day of year: #DatePart("y", todayDate)#
<LI>day: #DatePart("d", todayDate)#
<LI>weekday: #DatePart("w", todayDate)#
<LI>week: #DatePart("ww", todayDate)#
<LI>hour: #DatePart("h", todayDate)#
<LI>minute: #DatePart("n", todayDate)#
<LI>second: #DatePart("s", todayDate)#
</UL>
</CFOUTPUT>

Subject: sql date times
Hi all,
our sql server is set up to american date Time format, so as you know once
thats done you must play by its rules,
I know this is an SQL question but does anyone know how to break dates apart
using the (cast or convert functions, (I think)) IN SQL,,
its just that when I mask my date from my query I never get the right date..
I've submitted this query before, but not regarding the above...
if anyone has any ideas' I'd be well gratefull
thanx... JMC...
