Question

I have a SQL data calculation which is used as part of where clause to get bookings from calculated date at midnight.

My solution:

bookDate >= (SELECT DATEADD(dd, -7, DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()), 0)))

The original was:

bookDate >= DATEADD(dd, -7, GETDATE())

However it returns at calculated date + current time

Is there a alternative and far simpler approach to this?

Answer 1

This is a bit simpler.

bookDate >= DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()) - 7, 0)

In SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012 you can use the date data type.

bookDate >= DATEADD(dd, -7, CAST(GETDATE() as DATE))
