RECEIVED ADVANCE :Rs.10000u will need to take care of the formatting in the front end.|||Well, strictly speaking you CAN do the formatting on the back end. What harshall means is that you SHOULD do the formatting on the front end.

Formatting is a presentation issue and does not fall within the scope of a database server.

Read up on the datetime datatype and how it is stored in Books Online.|||Thanks Harshal & Blindman !!
