Just like you insert any other things. Theres nothing special about inserting dates in SQL Server.

Rohan,you are right.but not yet understand what OP want? i think he is not clear with his question? bcoz it tends to SQL injection.

You are not alone in that case. No one can understand from such little info.

Why ban SQL parameters? Those are your friend in preventing SQL injection...

Don't.

Always use SQL parameters - it removes any confusion from the system and means that your data is always consistent: which removes worse problems further down the line.

But...if you are alergic to them, then send it as a string in ISO 8601 format: yyyy-MM-dd
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601[^]
It's unambiguous and show convert without problems. Just remember to validate it if it is a user input!

But please, store it in a Date or DateTime column - don't be tempted to use a NVARCHAR or similar, it always ends in tears...
