I am more used to Access query, I want to query something with this kind of condition:
"Where Format(tblJBT.TglAkad, "dd/MM/yyyy") = #01/10/2012#"
The data includes hour and minutes, and with this Format function in Access, I can eliminate the hour and minutes, and query all data for that day (all hours and minutes within that day).

I know T-SQL do not accept Format function, but I do not know how to do the same kind of function in T-SQL for SQL Server.

Help, please?

where YourCol >= '20121001' and YourCol < '20121002'

Well, to be honest, I have thought of that one. I thought there is a way to format a column during query? Simple if there is a need for it? Please?

See/execute this example on how to convert and format the actual datetime to dd/mm/yyyy by using convert() with style argument:
select convert(varchar(10), getdate(),103)

Formation is needed when you want to present that data to application layer. But in WHERE clause comparison it is not needed
