I have a table with three fileds
1 - SmsTime (datatype = datetime)
2 - MsgCnt (datatype = int)
3 - Message (datatype = varchar)

Here MsgCnt means it will give the number of sms part (70 charector is equal to One SMS).
So in each row MsgCnt may be vary. Some time it may be 1 or 3 or 5 or 2 etc.
Now here I need to count how many MsgCnt is received on Today. Its not to count the rows but counting the MsgCnt fild value.
Is there any sql way to find it.

Plesase help me!

Are you sure you are getting any result with that ? getdate() will return the current date and time. How can you get any result with SmsTime = current date & time ?


Select sum(MsgCnt)
From Table
Where SmsTime = dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, getdate()), 0)

By modifications, you don't mean you used CONVERT() to truncate time part, do you?
