Subject: Date formatting using convert



Syntax of Conevrt is
CONVERT ( data_type [ ( length ) ] , expression [ , style ] )
I'm trying as
select convert(datetime [ 8 ], '2004-07-28 12:53:29.957', 110)
but it's not working. even i tried
select convert(datetime [ 'mm-dd-yyyy' ], '2004-07-28 12:53:29.957',
110)
i want the date in mm-dd-yyyy format. so can anyone suggest me...
