| Are you just trying to get the date from the datetime? Take a look at DATEPART if so. Otherwise, can you be a bit more detailed in what you're trying to do?Thanks,----------------------Ryan StonecipherDeveloper, Microsoft SQL Server Storage Engine, DBCC(Legalese: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.) |

| "SELECT cast(convert(varchar,getdate(),101) as datetime)"Only works on a server configured for USA date formatI posted a comparison of performance a while back - if you are interested! The CONVERT/CAST method is abou 3 - 5 times slower than the one with no conversions.http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=38940Kristen |
