| I have a table with a datetime value.Let say it is '8.7.2004 7:53:59'How can I get only the date part '8.7.2004', coz i need something likeSELECT * FROM TABLE_A WHERE TAB_DATE<='8.7.2004'which doesn't return records on '8.7.2004'with time>0:00:00. A solution would be to add 1 day, but Iam wondering if there is a function which return only the DATE part? |

| where tab_date < dateadd(dd,1,'20040708')To allow it to use indexes/statistics on table_date.You could also usewhere convert(varchar(8),tab_date,112) <= '20040708'Note the use of yyyymmdd for a character date as this is unambiguous.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
