How to change data type ?
Hi,

I have a column A with data type "datetime". I want to change the data type to "date".

As all the records are coming like that "2004-08-01 00:00:00.000". I only need to assign date in records.

When I try to do so, I get an error message there is no available data type "date".

I am using MS-SQL 2000.

you are getting that error because sql server does not support date datatypes, only datetime

yes, store your dates into your datetime column and use CONVERT to display them without the times
