# SqlWriterDateFormatsN

A list of date formats that are used in your documents.

When you write a date value from a document field to a column using the DATE_TIME data type, the `SqlWriter` task must convert the date into a standard format. The task therefore attempts to match the date in the document field against these date formats. The task checks the date against each format in order: `SqlWriterDateFormats0` first, followed by `SqlWriterDateFormats1`, `SqlWriterDateFormats2`, and so on.

NOTE: The `SqlWriterDateFormatsN` parameter applies to all document fields. For example, the `SqlWriter` task might match a date in the field `SqlWriterFieldNames0` to the format ``SqlWriterDateFormats3``.
