How to Get Just the Date When Using Mssql Getdate()

How to return only the Date from a SQL Server DateTime datatype

SELECT DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, @your_date))

for example

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

gives me

2008-09-22 00:00:00.000

Pros:

• No varchar<->datetime conversions required
• No need to think about locale

How do I get just the date when using MSSQL GetDate()?

Slight bias to SQL Server

• Best approach to remove time part of datetime in SQL Server
• Most efficient way in SQL Server to get date from date+time?

Summary

DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, GETDATE()), 0)

SQL Server 2008 has date type though. So just use

CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)

Edit: To add one day, compare to the day before "zero"

DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, -1, GETDATE()), 0)

From cyberkiwi:

An alternative that does not involve 2 functions is (the +1 can be in or ourside the brackets).

DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE() +1)

DateDiff returns a number but for all purposes this will work as a date wherever you intend to use this expression, except converting it to VARCHAR directly - in which case you would have used the CONVERT approach directly on GETDATE(), e.g.

convert(varchar, GETDATE() +1, 102)

How to get just the date part of getdate()?

If you are using SQL Server 2008 or later

select convert(date, getdate())

Otherwise

select convert(varchar(10), getdate(),120)

How to select date without time in 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.

How to get only the date(mm/dd/yyyy) by using the GETDATE()?

You can convert it to a DATE

SELECT CONVERT(DATE, GETDATE())

Or convert it to a VARCHAR

SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101)

The 101 is the format you've requested

How to get DATE from DATETIME column?

you can use CAST(column_name AS DATE) for Sql-server 2008 and above version

SELECT [name], [book_id], [book_name], 
cast([taken_date] as date) as [taken_date], 
cast([last_date] as date) as [last_date], 
cast([renewed_date] as date) as [renewed_date], 
[status], [comment], [fine_amount] 
FROM [library] WHERE ([admn_no] = @admn_no)

EDIT 1

for earlier version before sqlserver 2008 you can do it like

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),111)

so the whole query will go like this

SELECT [name], [book_id], [book_name], 
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),[taken_date],111) as [taken_date], 
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),[last_date],111) as [last_date], 
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),[renewed_date],111) as [renewed_date], 
[status], [comment], [fine_amount] 
FROM [library] WHERE ([admn_no] = @admn_no)

EDIT 2

for formatting your date from yyyy/dd/mm to dd/mm/yyyy you can change to 101 rather than 111

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),101)

so query will be

SELECT [name], [book_id], [book_name], 
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),[taken_date],101) as [taken_date], 
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),[last_date],101) as [last_date], 
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),[renewed_date],101) as [renewed_date], 
[status], [comment], [fine_amount] 
FROM [library] WHERE ([admn_no] = @admn_no)

Extract date from datetime column - SQL Server Compact

SQL Server Compact has no date type.

If you don't want to see the time, convert the datetime value to a string:

SELECT CONVERT(nvarchar(10), GETDATE(), 120)

(This has been tested and actually works against SQL Server Compact)

How to get Time from DateTime format in SQL?
