Solution 1

An SQL DateTime field will always have a time component - that is what it stores: A date, with a Time (hence the name).
If you need to store it without a time (even a default time such as 00:00 or 12AM) then you need to use a Date field instead.

Personally? I wouldn't bother - I'd go with the DateTime as it allows for future expansion.
