Hi.

I have a column of datatype datetime in sql server 2000.
Problem is when i export tha data of the table through BCP the date format
is in the exported file is 2008-01-16 00:00:00.000.
I want tha format to be like 16/01/2008.

In such you need to use a query where you convert the datetime value to
the desired format, and the use the queryout option to export the data
from that query.
