    convert column into datetime format

    Hi,

    I have a text file that contains a date column. The text file will be
    imported to database in SQL 2000 server. After to be importing, I want
    to convert the date column to date type.

    For ex. the text file look like

    Name date
    Smith 06092006 023718

    It would be converted date column to ydm database in SQL 2000 server.
    In the table it should look like this

    Name Date
    Smith 2006-09-06 hh:mm:ss.mmm

    i used the query

    select convert(varchar (15), getdate(), 25) from table name

    which gives me the current date in the desired format...how can i replace the current date parameter to include the column 'Date'???


    Much thanks in advance
    appreciate if someone can help on this....
Working...
