if you datatype is datetime of the table col   then database store data contain two partial   1  date  2  time   Just in display data use convert or cast   Example   create table  test part varchar 10  lastTime datetime  go  insert into  test  part  lastTime   values  A   2012-11-05     insert into  test  part  lastTime   values  B   2012-11-05 10 30     go  select   from  test   A   2012-11-05 00 00 00 000 B   2012-11-05 10 30 00 000  select part CONVERT  varchar lastTime 111  from  test  A   2012 11 05 B   2012 11 05  select part CONVERT  varchar 10  lastTime 20  from  test   A   2012-11-05 B   2012-11-05

I think style no  111  Japan  should work   SELECT CONVERT DATETIME   2012-08-17   111    And if that doesn t work for some reason - you could always just strip out the dashes and then you have the totally reliable ISO-8601 format  YYYYMMDD  which works for any language and date format setting in SQL Server   SELECT CAST REPLACE  2012-08-17    -       AS DATETIME
