I'm trying to create a report that gets records from a SQL Server database where the delivery date is today.
I've tried
select * from (tablename)
where delivery_date = getdate()
Although that didn't give me any errors, it didn't give me any records either.
I'm assuming it is because all dates are like:
2016-03-15 00:00:00.000
Perhaps, I need to truncate the date to remove the time-stamp and then try?
You can try a query like below
select * from (tablename)
where CAST(delivery_date as date) = CAST(getdate() as date)
Also if all delivery dates have time part like 00:00:00.000
for sure then
select * from (tablename)
where delivery_date = CAST(getdate() as date)
would work as good.
If delivery_date is always midnight (00:00:00.000
), then compare it like this:
select * from (tablename)
where delivery_date = datediff(d, 0, getdate())
Using datediff
like this is a quick way to truncate the time part of a datetime value.
I'd just create 2 params. One for StartTime
and one for EndTime
and use those in my query.
DECLARE @StartTime DATETIME,
@EndTime DATETIME
SET @StartTime = DATEDIFF(d,0,GETDATE())
SET @EndTime = DATEADD(d,1,@StartTime)
SELECT *
FROM [tablename]
WHERE delivery_date >= @StartTime
AND delivery_date < @EndTime
Yo need to remove the time part of the delivery_date field AND the GETDATE() value.
SELECT *
FROM (tablename)
WHERE DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, delivery_date), 0) = DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
Try this:
DECLARE @Today DATETIME
SET @Today= CONVERT(date, getdate())
select * from (tablename)
where delivery_date = @Today
