Solution 1

Take off the DATE bit and change "Y" to "y":

SQL

SELECT First_name, Last_name,FORMAT(Hire_date,'%M %d %y') AS 'Hire date' FROM Employees;

i had tried
select e.first_name,e.last_name,format(e.hire_date,'%M %d %y') as 'Hire date' from employees e;

it shows
Truncated incorrect INTEGER value: '%M %d %y'

Same error, different code, different field:

Either there is something else in your code that is common to both problems and you aren't showing us, or - as I suggested - it's a DB problem. Start by replacing "Hire_Date" with GETDATE() in your code and see if it goes away. If it does, it;s your DB.
If it doesn't then look at the rest of your code.

Do you wake up screaming in your garage at night?

No, but I probably would if I had a garage ... :laugh:
