I'm new to SSIS and I'm trying to convert a GetDate() to string "DD-MM-YYYY". This is the expression I've built so far:
(DT_WSTR, 8) DAY( GETDATE()) + "-" + (DT_WSTR, 8) (MONTH(GETDATE()) - 1) + "-" + (DT_WSTR, 8) YEAR(GETDATE())
The problem I've got is Month() converts the Month "23-4-2013" to a single character when I want it in Double character, same as day. How do i make it into a double character no matter what month it is?
For SSIS you could go with:
RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("dd" , GETDATE()), 2) + "-" + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("mm" , GETDATE()), 2) + "-" + (DT_STR, 4, 1252) DATEPART("yy" , GETDATE())
