How to update the Year in a date field?

Hi All,
The AP clerks forgot to change the year from 2009 to 2010, so they did lots of data entry with invoice dates instead of 2010, they added 2009 and the date field looks like this "2009-01-16 00:00:00.000", is there a way to replace 2009 with 2010.

Please help me and thanks in advance,
Ramesh

Try to do this if this is what you need:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. select invoice_date, cast('2010' + right(convert(varchar(8), invoice_date,112),4)  as datetime) as new_invoice_date
  3. from YOURTABLE
  4. where year(invoice_date) = 2009
  5.  
  6.  
Make sure that this is what you want before updating your table.

Happy Coding!!!
