The datepart hour is not supported by date function dateadd for data type date

Question

While I am running the following query in jasper reports, I got the exception. \"net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Error executing SQL statement for : Activity_Summary\".

Answer 1

To avoid the error message "The datepart hour is not supported by date function dateadd for data type date" it's sometimes necessary to do a double cast after getting the current time (firstly to cast it as date to get rid of the time, and then back to datetime to enable adding time to it). For example, if you need 11:00 today, use:

DATEADD(hour, 11, cast(cast(getdate() as date) as datetime))
