To get name of a particular date, we can use DATENAME function in Sql Server.
select DATENAME(dw, '2015-05-19 12:59:30')
Output
Tuesday
This function can also be used to get Month name, year, day of the month etc. as shown below. Pass desired parameter in place of "dw" to get required details.
Parameter | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
yy | 2015 | Yes |
2 | Quarter | |
mm | May | Month name |
dy | 139 | Day of the year |
dd | 19 | Day of the month |
wk | 21 | Week of the year |
dw | Tuesday | Day name of the week |
hh | 12 | Hour of the date time passed |
n | 59 | Minute of the date time passed |
ss | 30 | Second of the date time passed |
Similarly, we can also pass ms for milli seconds, mcs for micro seconds, ns for nano seconds.
