Sql Problem Overview


When I select date in SQL it is returned as 2011-02-25 21:17:33.933. But I need only the Date part, that is 2011-02-25. How can I do this?

Sql Solutions


Solution 1 - Sql

For SQL Server 2008:

Convert(date, getdate())  

Please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/getdate-transact-sql

Solution 2 - Sql

I guess he wants a string.

select convert(varchar(10), '2011-02-25 21:17:33.933', 120)

120 here tells the convert function that we pass the input date in the following format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.

Solution 3 - Sql

The fastest is datediff, e.g.

select dateadd(d, datediff(d,0, [datecolumn]), 0), other..
from tbl

But if you only need to use the value, then you can skip the dateadd, e.g.

select ...
WHERE somedate <= datediff(d, 0, getdate())

where the expression datediff(d, 0, getdate()) is sufficient to return today's date without time portion.

Solution 4 - Sql

Using CAST(GETDATE() As Date) worked for me

Solution 5 - Sql

Solution 6 - Sql

For 2008 older version :

SELECT DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()), 0)

Solution 7 - Sql

you can use like this

SELECT Convert(varchar(10), GETDATE(),120) 

Solution 8 - Sql

In case if you need the time to be zeros like 2018-01-17 00:00:00.000:

SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE()), 121)

Solution 9 - Sql

I would use DATEFROMPARTS function. It is quite easy and you don't need casting. As an example this query :

Select  DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()), DAY(GETDATE())) as myNewDate

will return

> 2021-01-21

The good part you can also create you own date, for example you want first day of a month as a date, than you can just use like below:

Select  DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(GETDATE()), MONTH(GETDATE()), 1) as myNewDate

The result will be:

> 2021-01-01

Solution 10 - Sql

You can try this one too.

SELECT CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE(), 120)

Solution 11 - Sql

Its too late but following worked for me well

declare @vCurrentDate date=getutcdate()

select @vCurrentDate

When data type is date, hours would be truncated

Solution 12 - Sql

It's a bit late, but use the ODBC "curdate" function (angle brackes 'fn' is the ODBC function escape sequence).

SELECT {fn curdate()} 

Output: 2013-02-01

Solution 13 - Sql

Convert it back to datetime after converting to date in order to keep same datatime if needed

select Convert(datetime, Convert(date, getdate())  )

Solution 14 - Sql

Use is simple:

convert(date, Btch_Time)

Example below:

Table:

Efft_d	     Loan_I	 Loan_Purp_Type_C	Orig_LTV	Curr_LTV	Schd_LTV	Un_drwn_Bal_a	   Btch_Time	        Strm_I	Btch_Ins_I
2014-05-31	200312500	HL03	         NULL	      1.0000	1.0000	       1.0000	   2014-06-17 11:10:57.330	1005	24851e0a-53983699-14b4-69109


Select * from helios.dbo.CBA_SRD_Loan where Loan_I in ('200312500') and convert(date, Btch_Time) = '2014-06-17'

Solution 15 - Sql

If you want to return a date type as just a date use

CONVERT(date, SYSDATETIME())

or

SELECT CONVERT(date,SYSDATETIME()) 

or

DECLARE @DateOnly Datetime
SET @DateOnly=CONVERT(date,SYSDATETIME())

Solution 16 - Sql

select DATE(field) from table;

field value: 2020-12-15 12:19:00

select value: 2020-12-15

Solution 17 - Sql

In PLSQL you can use

to_char(SYSDATE,'dd/mm/yyyy')

Solution 18 - Sql

First Convert the date to float (which displays the numeric), then ROUND the numeric to 0 decimal points, then convert that to datetime.

convert(datetime,round(convert(float,orderdate,101),0) ,101)

Solution 19 - Sql

Try this.

SELECT DATEADD(DD, 0, DATEDIFF(DD, 0, GETDATE()))
