[datetime] SQL where datetime column equals today's date?

How can I get the records from a db where created date is today's date?

SELECT [Title], [Firstname], [Surname], [Company_name], [Interest] 
FROM [dbo].[EXTRANET_users] 
WHERE DATE(Submission_date) = DATE(NOW())

This doesn't work im using sql server 2000 and submission date is a date time field

This question is related to datetime sql-server-2000

The answer is


Can you try this?

SELECT [Title], [Firstname], [Surname], [Company_name], [Interest] 
FROM [dbo].[EXTRANET_users] 
WHERE CAST(Submission_date AS DATE) = CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)

T-SQL doesn't really have the "implied" casting like C# does - you need to explicitly use CAST (or CONVERT).

Also, use GETDATE() or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP to get the "now" date and time.

Update: since you're working against SQL Server 2000 - none of those approaches so far work. Try this instead:

SELECT [Title], [Firstname], [Surname], [Company_name], [Interest] 
FROM [dbo].[EXTRANET_users] 
WHERE DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, submission_date)) = DATEADD(dd, 0, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()))

There might be another way, but this should work:

SELECT [Title], [Firstname], [Surname], [Company_name], [Interest] 
FROM [dbo].[EXTRANET] 
WHERE day(Submission_date)=day(now) and 
     month(Submission_date)=month(now)
     and year(Submission_date)=year(now)

To get all the records where record created date is today's date Use the code after WHERE clause

WHERE  CAST(Submission_date AS DATE) = CAST( curdate() AS DATE)

Easy way out is to use a condition like this ( use desired date > GETDATE()-1)

your sql statement "date specific" > GETDATE()-1
