exec sp_my_insert 10,'10/02/2002'

Single quotes and the exec are the only difference

Also, you have an extra comma on your procedure def at the end of: @aDate

sp_My_Insert 10, '20021010'

- single quotes, not # (Access) or " (?)
- YYYYMMDD, the only safe format for SQL Server

Datatypes are documented in Books Online. Essentially, datetime covers more
dates and is more precise. I tend to use SMALLDATETIME unless I need
accuracy closer than 1 minute.

Hi,

I have a stored procedure and one of the parameters is of format
smalldatetime.
What is the format of the parameter when I call the SP ?

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_My_Insert
@org int,
@aDate smalldatetime,
AS
INSERT INTO MyTable(Org, ADate)
VALUES (@org, @aDate)
GO

How do I call this SP ?

sp_My_Insert 10, "10/10/2002" --> error
sp_My_Insert 10, #10/10/2002# --> error

and, what is the difference with a datetime field ?

thanks
Chris
