Rob writes "I have a whole load of data, in different tables, that all have a column "TimeAdded" which is a date/time string. Unfortunately I need to change the format of this date/time string so that every month, which is currently numeric, is now given as the three letter text equivalent.

i.e. 12/10/00 19:53:00 becomes 12/Oct/00 19:53:00

Is there any way to batch process this, either by using T-SQL or ASP (or any other method), so that it changes each and every record in the tables (I can manually run it on each table, in turn)?

thanks,
