juan manuel writes "Hi,
I need to display the datetime info in the following format: "06/04/2005 1:19:32", but instead when I use this:
"select date=getdate()", command it displays like this:
"2005-04-06 09:31:44.170", how can I change the format so it displays in the way I need

Thanks"

Return the date value to your presentation layer and format it there. SQL should not be used for formatting/presenting data, that is not the purpose of the language. When SQPL is invented (Structured Query and Presentation Language) then you can go crazy with all the formatting you'd like!
