Datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value. Please help

Hi,

I have a column of type datetime in sqlserver 2000. Whenever I try to insert the date

'31/08/2006 23:28:59'

I get the error "...datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value"

I've looked everywhere and I can't solve the problem. Please note, I first got this error from an asp.net page and in order to ensure that it wasn't some problem with culture settings I decided to run the query straight in Sql Query Anaylser. The results were the same. What else could it be?

cheers,

Ernest

I guess itis caused by the date format in SQL Server. Please try following statements:

set DATEFORMAT dmy
declare @.t smalldatetime
set @.t='31/08/2006 23:28:59'
select @.t

Thanks Lori,

It appears that when I use parameters in my SqlCommand object this works like a treat. God bless the parameters!!
