Answer 1

Select Convert(Varchar,Convert(Date,'2014-06-15 00:00:00.000'),110)

Answer 2

For SQL 2012 and above:

DECLARE @TimeStamp DATETIME = '2014-06-15 00:00:00.000'

SELECT FORMAT(@TimeStamp,'d','en-US') AS Format_Date

Results:

Format_Date
---------------
6/15/2014

Answer 3

If the source column is of type Datetime and target column can be of varchar then you can simply write as:

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), mydatetimecolumn, 101) AS [MM/DD/YYYY]
From Testtable

else if source column is of type varchar and you are sure that all dates are valid then you can write as:

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), cast('2014-06-15 00:00:00.000' as datetime),
101) AS [MM/DD/YYYY]
