Example
The following script uses the CONVERT() function to display different formats. We will use the GETDATE() function to get the current date/time:

CONVERT(VARCHAR(19),GETDATE()) CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),110) CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),GETDATE(),106) CONVERT(VARCHAR(24),GETDATE(),113)

The result would look something like this:
