Iam having a table with around 1 lakh record.
Iam having column start_date with data type varchar.
while converting to dateTime format iam getting error.Because of some record not in date time format. How can i identify those record.
So i need a query to throw exception the particular id whose date format is not correct.

My requirement is to get the ID for which the error is thrown.

Hello Naresh,
So that here ,you need to rewrite the above query like this.
Declare @t table
(
id int,
datefield varchar(30)
)
Insert into @t
Select 1,'2010-05-21 13:56:53.047'
Union All
Select 2,'2010-05-22 13:56:53.047'
Union All
Select 3,'May-20'
Union All
Select 4,'2010-05-25 13:56:53.047'
Union All
Select 5,'Naresh'

Select Stuff((Select +','+ cast(id as varchar) from @t where isdate(datefield)=0 for xml path('')),1,1,space(0)) NondateValue

--OutPUT
3,5

Here you will get Nondatevalue id are listed. Kindly try this query. Let Me know that, do you need further clarification.

Select 2,'2010-05-22 13:56:53.047'
Union All
Select 3,'May-20'
Union All
Select 4,'2010-05-25 13:56:53.047'
Union All
Select 5,'Naresh'
Union All
Select 6,'2010'

Declare @result nvarchar(max)
Declare @DateValue nvarchar(max)
Select @DateValue =Stuff((Select +','+ cast(id as varchar) from t where isdate(datefield)=1 and len(datefield)>10 for xml path('')),1,1,space(0))
Set @result='Select ID from t where ID not in ('+@DateValue+')'
