Chance StudentID to Birthday format MMDDYY

[Scjordo]

1.       UPDATE Advised_Students (in SchoolScheduling DB) for YOUR StudLastName and change your StudentID to your birthdate in the format of MMDDYY. For example, if you were born Feb 2 1985 the value would be 020285. Since this field is an integer, the leading zero will not be included in the updated value.

Use CONVERT function to change the datatype.

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101) AS [MM/DD/YYYY]

I hope it'll be helpful.

Thanks!

So student id could be 2 lengths for those that do not include a leading zero, and those that do?. what happens if students have same birthdates? For sorting correctly wouldn't be better to have format of yyyymmdd, as mm, and dd will be multiple to month's and years, year will be singular, which then make mm and dd singular to that specific year.
