Depends to a large extent what exactly you are doing to retrieve the data.
Show us the code fragment that you are using.

Are you trying to store a datetime value into a varchar column?

No am using datetime as datatype for specified column

phil.o 28-Apr-14 5:23am

So, this is not possible to store a blank space in a DateTime column.
At that time, what is stored in this column? A null value, or the default value for Datetime?

default value for datatime.

Hi,

I think you can solve this problem with ISNULL. Implement it according to your requirement.

SELECT ISNULL(ColName, '') AS ColName FROM TableName

Good Luck
