Microsoft SQL Server Dates Return just Date from a DateTime
Example
There are many ways to return a Date from a DateTime object
SELECT CONVERT(Date, GETDATE())SELECT DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()))returns 2016-07-21 00:00:00.000SELECT CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),111)SELECT FORMAT(GETDATE(), 'yyyy-MM-dd')
Note that options 4 and 5 returns a string, not a date.
