insert into emp values(1001, 'Ramu', 10000, 10/01/2016, 'Delhi');

Error :
Msg 206, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Operand type clash: int is incompatible with date

What I have tried:

create table emp (eno int,ename varchar(50),esal money,edoj date,ecity varchar(50));

insert into emp values(1001, 'Ramu', 10000, 10/01/2016, 'Delhi');

Error :
Msg 206, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Operand type clash: int is incompatible with date

NB: Using a culture-specific date format for date literals will have unintended consequences. The date literal 10/01/2016 could be interpreted as 10th January or 1st October, depending on the server's settings.

It's always best to use an invariant format for date literals: '20160110'

Try 'yyyy-mm-dd' format

'2016/01/10' with the ' before and after.
