    <h2>Question</h2> <p>Hello All,</p> <p>I've had some confusion for quite some time with essentially flooring a DateTime SQL type using T-SQL. Essentially, I want to take a DateTime value of say 2008-12-1 14:30:12 and make it 2008-12-1 00:00:00. Alot of the queries we run for reports use a date value in the WHERE clause, but I either have a start and end date value of a day and use a BETWEEN, or I find some other method.</p> <p>Currently I'm using the following: <code> WHERE CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR, [tstamp], 102) AS DATETIME) = @dateParam </code></p> <p>However, this seems kinda clunky. I was hoping there would be something more simple like <code>CAST([tstamp] AS DATE)</code></p> <p>Some places online recommend using DATEPART() function, but then I end up with something like this:</p> <pre> <code> WHERE DATEPART(year, [tstamp]) = DATEPART(year, @dateParam) AND DATEPART(month, [tstamp]) = DATEPART(month, @dateParam) AND DATEPART(day, [tstamp]) = DATEPART(day, @dateParam) </code> </pre> <p>Maybe I'm being overly concerned with something small and if so please let me know. I just want to make sure the stuff I'm writing is as efficient as possible. I want to eliminate any weak links.</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> C <br /><br /></p> <h2>Solution</h2> <p>Thanks everyone for the great feedback. A lot of useful information. I'm going to change around our functions to eliminate the function on the left hand side of the operator. Although most of our date columns don't use indexes, it is probably still a better practice.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
