'DATE' is not a recognized built-in function name

Question

I wish to find all records of the current day. I have a field Date of type DATE. I am getting error on sql server

\'DATE\' is not a recognized built-in funct         


        

Answer 1

As the error states, there is no DATE function in SQL Server 2008 or 2012 (you tagged both so I'm not sure which you're targeting). You can, however, cast to a date type in SQL Server 2008 and above:

WHERE EnterDate = CONVERT(date,GETDATE())

Note that there's no CURDATE function either, so I've translated that to GETDATE()
