Question

How do I convert a datetime to just a date in SSIS?

I’m trying to perform an aggregate query which will group by a particular date. In order to do that, I’m trying to extract just the date portion of the timestamp(stored as a datetime) so I can perform the GROUP BY on the next step.

I’ve looked at the DATEPART function, but it looks like I would have to call it multiple times to retrieve the month, date and year, concatenate them together and then parse the new date. There has got to be a better way to do this.

In SSIS you can use Data Conversion Transformation, for input value you have DT_DBTIMESTAMP and for output use DT_DBDATE
