how can i get the date in dd mm yyyy format please help me

Answer 1

您需要用户日期格式化功能 。

select format([date], "dd.mm.yyyy") from table1 order by [date] desc;

Answer 2

You should avoid date as a field Name, since it is a reserved word.

select  Format([date],"dd/mm/yyyy") as Dt from table1 order by [date] desc;

My feeling is that you should conserve the field as a date until the very end, and just render it in the final form/report/whatever. Using Format() will change it to a string and it will not sort or add properly anymore. In Access, for instance, one would leave is as it is and rather modify the Format property of the Control bound to that field. Since you tagged your question with [Java], I can't tell you more...
