When I am trying to create a table using SQL Server 2008 DataCenter Server R2 I cannot use the SQL 'Date' datatype for a Data Column but the query was executed with an error that giving the date format is not a available data type. It also not appeared at the table design. But when I refer some books I found that there is a new data type in SQL Server 2008.

I don't know how to solve this matter! Please be kind to solve this!

Solution 1

I have no idea what you mean, but instead of Date use DateTime[^] data column, for example:

SQL

CREATE TABLE Table1 ([Date] DATETIME)
INSERT INTO Table1 ([Date]) VALUES('2012-05-23')
SELECT [Date] FROM Table1

Some useful links:
T-SQL data types[^]
CREATE TABLE[^]
ALTER TABLE[^]
