I want to create a table with DATE
Column. For that column I am using DateTime
datatype .
Is there any other datatype or option to display only date without Time. am using Sql Server 2005
Have any format to use?
Otherwise if i use Datetime
datatype, how can I retrieve in c# with Update
query.
I use C# code how to retrieve only date
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(("Update tablename set Date = convert(GETDATE(),103) where Name ='" + TextBox1.Text + "' "), con);
You have to use Datetime
. Take a look at this chart.
SELECT replace(convert(varchar, getdate(), 111), '/','-' ) -> YYYY-MM-DD
Have a look at How to format datetime & date in Sql Server 2005
You can use SQL Server formatting functions with convert functions. Here is the link where you can find all the formatting functions.

If you use SQL Server 2008 then only you can use date type.
The DATE data type was not introduced until SQL Server 2008. As a datatype, it is not part of 2005. You have to store it as a DATETIME and then use a conversion of some sort to strip the time part off.
Also, SQL Server 2005 is no longer a supported platform. You should really consider upgrading to a newer platform anyway.
Follow this pattern,
const string updateTable = "UPDATE [dbo].[Tablename]
SET [Date] = getutcdate()
WHERE [Name] = @Name;"
using (var connection = new SqlConnection(youConnectionString))
{
using(var command = new SqlCommand(updateTable, connection))
{
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", TextBox1.Text);
connection.Open();
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
