SQL Server Format Date DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS

Question

How can I get a date like 'dd.mm.yyyy HH:MM:SS' I tried the following but it's not exactly what I'm looking for...

select convert(varchar(20),getdate(),113)

result: 14 Jul 2011 09:23:57

Thanks a lot Largo

Answer 1

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx

You can concatenate it:

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 104) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 108)

A quick way to do it in sql server 2012 is as follows:

SELECT FORMAT(GETDATE() , 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss')
