'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

This is not the exact answer but example how to trim the time part from the date time variable

CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),date_manufactured,10) =CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),@startdate,10))

Answer 2

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()

Answer 3

Finally I get it done by
WHERE EnterDate > Convert(DATETIME,Convert(varchar,DATEADD(DAY,0,GETDATE()),101))

Answer 4

Use the following condition in your where cluase

WHERE CAST(DateColumn AS DATE) = CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)
              ^------------ Your Column Name with `Date` or 'DateTime'  data type

CURDATE() is a mysql function, In Sql-Server we have GETDATE() function to get current date and time.

Answer 5

More efficient one is

WHERE EnterDate > DATEADD(dd, -1, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()))
