In SQL Server, here is a sample string:

2010-11-23@20:14:17.

That is a period at the end.

How do I convert it to Datetime format to update another column?

Thank you so much!

Here is one way:

DECLARE @Foo VARCHAR(100) =  '2010-11-23@20:14:17.';
SELECT CAST(REPLACE(@foo, '@', 'T') + '000' AS DATETIME)
