How do I get the month and day with leading 0's in SQL? (e.g. 9 => 09)
Pad it with 00 and take the right 2:
DECLARE @day CHAR(2)
SET @day = RIGHT('00' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(2), DATEPART(DAY, GETDATE())), 2)
print @day
For SQL Server 2012 and up , with leading zeroes:
SELECT FORMAT(GETDATE(),'MM')
without:
SELECT MONTH(GETDATE())
Use SQL Server's date styles to pre-format your date values.
SELECT
CONVERT(varchar(2), GETDATE(), 101) AS monthLeadingZero -- Date Style 101 = mm/dd/yyyy
,CONVERT(varchar(2), GETDATE(), 103) AS dayLeadingZero -- Date Style 103 = dd/mm/yyyy
