Are you shure that is correct answer? OP wants to convert datetime data type field into date only (without time part).

Solution 3

Use CAST and CONVERT[^] functions ;)

SQL

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), DateTimeField, 121) AS DateOnly
FROM TableName

SQL

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 121) AS DateOnly

Hi,

if you dont want to show time then use

Convert(varchar,Paln_Date,103) PlanTime
or use it only for sorting as
order by convert(varchar,PlanTime,103)

SQL

select * from TableName
order by  convert(varchar,PlanTime,103)

for more details on date format visit
