Personally  I d return the full  native datetime value and format this in the client code   That way  you can use the user s locale setting to give the correct meaning to that user    11 12  is ambiguous  Is it    12th November 11th December

First thing s first  if your dates are in varchar format change that  store dates as dates it will save you a lot of headaches and it is something that is best done sooner rather than later  The problem will only get worse   Secondly  once you have a date DO NOT convert the date to a varchar  Keep it in date format and use formatting on the application side to get the required date format    There are various methods to do this depending on your DBMS     SQL-Server 2008 and later   SELECT  CAST CURRENT TIMESTAMP AS DATE      SQL-Server 2005 and Earlier  SELECT  DATEADD DAY  DATEDIFF DAY  0  CURRENT TIMESTAMP   0      SQLite  SELECT  DATE NOW        Oracle  SELECT  TRUNC CURRENT TIMESTAMP      Postgresql  SELECT  CURRENT TIMESTAMP  DATE     If you need to use culture specific formatting in your report you can either explicitly state the format of the receiving text box  e g  dd MM yyyy   or you can set the language so that it shows the relevant date format for that language   Either way this is much better handled outside of SQL as converting to varchar within SQL will impact any sorting you may do in your report   If you cannot will not change the datatype to DATETIME  then still convert it to a date within SQL  e g  CONVERT DATETIME  yourField   before sending to report services and handle it as described above

I found this method to be quite useful  However it will convert your date time format to just date but never the less it does the job for what I need it for   I just needed to display the date on a report  the time was irrelevant    CAST start date AS DATE    UPDATE   Bear in mind I m a trainee      I figured an easier way to do this IF YOU RE USING SSRS   It s easier to actually change the textbox properties where the field is located in the report  Right click field Number Date and select the appropriate format
