Question

I need all the records from last day?

Hi

Select * from table1 where tabledate > getdate() -1 

with this query, i need to run is exactly after midnight to get exact result. I need to run it in day time and get all the previous day’s records.

In SQL Server 2005, this is generally the fastest way to convert a datetime to a date:

DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, yourDate), 0)

In your case, it’s done only once, so the how doesn’t really matter much. But it does give the following query.

Select
  *
from
  table1
where
      tabledate >= DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, getDate()) - 1, 0)
  AND tabledate <  DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, getDate()),     0)
