How to convert datetime to date only (with time set to 00:00:00.000)

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-

Answer 1

declare @originalDate datetime
select @originalDate = '2009-06-24 09:52:43.000'

declare @withoutTime datetime
select @withoutTime = dateadd(d, datediff(d, 0, @originalDate), 0)

select @withoutTime
