Transact-SQL
1

I need to insert table1 data to table2

a table 1 field is varchar I want to insert into table2 datetime

example

Table 1 Col1 = 2016-06-20 00: 00: 00.000

when inserting the system shows me the following message:

Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Procedure Bdi_Insert_BDI_Absence1, Line 9
The conversion of a nvarchar data in datetime data type created a value out of range.
The statement has been terminated.

you need to convert the varchar value to datetime using the convert function and then insert the converted value.
How are you inserting the data?

3

i insert with convert(datetime, col1)
i insert the field without convert

it does not work

You have strings that are not valid dates. You need to either correct them, or skip them and put NULL in the column if the date isn't valid:

INSERT INTO table2 ( col2, ... )
SELECT CASE WHEN ISDATE(col1) THEN col1 ELSE NULL END AS col2, ...
FROM table1
