SQL Server - 将日期转换为 D-MMM-YYYY 格式

Question

How can I get the string from GETDATE() in D-MMM-YYYY format, eg 3 May 2016

If I use CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(), 106) , I would get a leading zero on day which is not what I want.

Answer 1

If you are on SQL Server 2012 or later, use FORMAT :

SELECT FORMAT(GETDATE(), 'd MMM yyyy')

Edit: some of the answers below are just flat-out wrong so I'm adding a solution for older versions of SQL Server. 2005 is the earliest that I can get my hands on:

SELECT CASE
        WHEN CONVERT(varchar(20), GETDATE(), 106) LIKE '0%'
            THEN SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varchar(20), GETDATE(), 106), 2, 20)
        ELSE CONVERT(varchar(20), GETDATE(), 106)
       END

Answer 2

SELECT case when left(convert(varchar(20),[DateColumn],106),1) ='0'
       then right(convert(varchar(20),[DateColumn],106),len(convert(varchar(20),[DateColumn],106))-1)
       else convert(varchar(20),[DateColumn],106)
       end
  FROM [DB].[dbo].[Table]

Some sample output :

29 Apr 2016
2 Apr 2016

Answer 3

If you cannot use FORMAT (Below SQL Server 2012)

DECLARE @date DATE = '20160503'

SELECT REPLACE(DATEPART(DAY, @date),' 0','') + ' ' +
       CONVERT(CHAR(3), @date, 0) + ' ' +
       CAST(DATEPART(YEAR, @date) AS CHAR(4))
