  • 0

My project requires I use VB (5 or 6)* to store a date in an SQL Server database. The SQL datetime type includes the time, which I don’t want. I’m also aware that VB’s representation of a date doesn’t mirror that of SQL Server.

So, how can I store a date held in VB’s date type in the SQL database, as the datetime at midnight on that date, for example?

Edit: I need to use the date to select rows further down the line, so I can’t get away with just truncating it on read.

*I know, I you were me, you wouldn’t start from here. But given the constraints, any VB6/MS SQL fiends out there?

  1. VB6 has a DateValue() function which returns the date portion of a Date/Time value, with the time portion ‘zeroed out’. (Note: When the time portion of a date/time variable is ‘zeroed out’, the time would be interpreted as 12:00 AM.)
