Change sql Get date to format ccmmdd?

Question

I am trying to find out how to change my get date into the format of ccmmdd?

So far the closest iv come is ccyymmdd with:

CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),GETDATE(),112)

This produces 20140505, What i'm looking for is 140505.

Is there a link i can follow to see the different sql date formats, or would this be best done through string manipulation?

Answer 1

Try this:

CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),GETDATE(),12)

The list of available formats can be found here:

Answer 2

This also works.

RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),112),6)
