| You can use CONVERT:SELECT CONVERT( datetime, CONVERT( char( 8 ), GETDATE(), 112 ))The CONVERT to char( 8 ) will strip out the time. When you CONVERT it back, the time is set to 0.If you don't want to display the time at all:SELECT CONVERT( char( 8 ), GETDATE(), 112 )Of course, this way all you have is a string. |
