Question

I have a string ‘2009-06-24 09:52:43.000’, which I need to insert to a DateTime column of a table.

But I don’t care about the time, just want to insert it as 2009-06-24 00:00:00.000

How can I do that in T-SQL?

Answer 1

For SQL Server 2005 and below:

CONVERT(varchar(8), @ParamDate, 112)    -- Supported way

CAST(FLOOR(CAST(@ParamDate AS float)) AS DATETIME)   -- Unsupported way

For SQL Server 2008 and above:

CAST(@ParamDate AS DATE)

For SQL Server 2022 and above:

DATETRUNC(d, @ParamDate)
