SQL Server GROUP BY datetime ignore hour minute and a select with a date and sum value

Question

I have a table with two fields - datetime and int. I want to do a group by on the datetime only on the date ignoring the hour and minute.

Answer 1

I came researching the options that I would have to do this, however, I believe the method I use is the simplest:

SELECT COUNT(*), 
       DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, date_field),0) as dtgroup 
FROM TABLE 
GROUP BY DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, date_field),0) 
ORDER BY dtgroup ASC;
