It depends on the current format of the datetime "phrase" (for lack of a better term). Remember too that time is part of the value being stored.
If you do a SELECT GETDATE() in QA you can see the pattern that dates are displayed in. For example, I get '2002-05-16 10:05:17.330' (for a SMALLDATETIME, lop off the milliseconds).
