GETDATE() 插入空格 SQL 服务器

Question

I have three tables in database. I have the column Operation_Date in all of them. I set the column default value to ( GETDATE() ), and its data type is VARCHAR(50) and I don't have any coding in my C# Windows application that inserts value to Operation_Date .

Issue: When I insert rows to tables the operation_Date separates month, day and year with space like this (MAY 2 2020). I get two spaces after month and one space after days.

I tried to make a query on SQL Server to insert and the same problem occurs. I tried changing data type to datetime but with not success.

Note: this issue occurs only in two tables. And I am pretty sure the three tables have the same settings.

Is there anyway to force a certain date format for the default value in SQL Server? And what could make this issue happen?

This is the query I used:

USE [EasyManagementSystem]

INSERT INTO [dbo].[Attendance] ([Employee_No], [Present], [Leave], [Othe_Leave], [Month], [Year])
VALUES ('l-8068', 30, 0, 0, 'MAY', 2020)

Answer 1

Huh? Why would you be storing a date as a string. That is just wrong. There is a perfectly good data type for dates, called date .

If you want this to be set on input, then just give it a default value. Your table creation should look like:

create attendance (
    . . .
    operation_date date default getdate()
);

Voila. It will just work, If you want the month or year, you can use the month() and year() functions.
